* pours can of coke on floor* this hurts you XD
STOP! The thought! The hurts me to my very core!
Poodle is right on this one. In the UK you don't generally get paid to recycle as a private individual. Local councils take away recyclable goods as part of their waste collection service.
Edit: And you are expected to separate the recycling yourself.
You'd be surprised how many people can't understand this. I worked as a collector for a week over Christmas 2013 and it was ridiculous how many people didn't sort it. Technically, the collectors don't even have to take it if it's not sorted because of several reasons.
1) The truck blocks the road and more time spent sorting it is more time spent blocking other people.
2) Anything can be in the recycling. One person whilst I was working there was stabbed by a needle hidden in the box. Luckily, he was okay.
...You are smarter than this. Please don't give me an aneurysm today. That's the last thing I need.
Go back to the page I linked and read it.
