27 Unique Life Hacks That Will Change Your Life

Recycle For Some Walking Around $$$

If you go for walks a lot in your neighborhood you’re probably going to see errant cans, bottles and similar all over the place. It’s amazing how much people just throw these containers on the ground. So double-up your exercise with a bit of money-making. Get yourself a grabber stick at a local hardware ($10 usually) and use old grocery shopping bags as your container. As you walk, pick up the cans and bottles, crush them with your foot if doable and put them in the bag.

At the end of the walk, tie the bag and put them in your recycle container at home. Then go on the weekend, recycle and get some money for them. Avid recyclers easily make anywhere from $250 to $300 a year recapturing recycling payments for cans and bottles. And if you live near a park, its an extra bonus, especially during soccer season and the summer.
