I should have been doing it before, but about a year or 2 ago, Oregon raised the payout from recycling cans from 5 cents to 10 cents and I've been making weekly runs to the bottle drop centers for the last few months now. I have my parents giving me their cans and my mother in law, who drinks Diet Pepsi like a fiend, as well as collecting all of our own, and have been getting about 75 bucks a month now. I'll usually drop them off when I'm running an errand or something so it's not out of the way, but I'm stoked to be getting close to $1,000 a year just from recycling cans.
