Bottle Redemption

Here in Maine we get to return bottles and cans for money. Fantastic, right? Well usually. Dave is in charge of this duty. He likes to collect (and collect and collect and collect) until we have enough to make it "worth it". So I am off to take TEN GARBAGE BAGS full of cans to the redemption center. In the pouring rain.

I'll update later to tell you how much we actually got.

We get 5 cents for each can and I think we get 10 cents for a bottle and wine bottles and some bigger bottles get 15 cents.

UPDATE: I got $44.40. I usually take the cans to a grocery store where they have redemption areas. This place was nasty dirty. ICK.

That's cool. I wish they did that here, but they don't.

Loving the blog!
