I check Craigslist to find people who are giving away old aluminum rims for free, and they are worth $25 at my local junkyard. A set of 4 is worth $100.

I still save and turn them in. It's not much, but it's a nice lunch out or 1/2 a tank of gas, so I'll keep doing it. I saved soda cans for all of last year and got $17 for them.

When I was growing up we recycled everything you mentioned above plus even batteries. We didn't get alot of money for certain types of things, but every penny helped back then. Metal always gave us the most cash. We would go around and find people who had old heat pumps, cars, lawn mowers you name it and offer them alittle money for them. Most time they would give us the stuff just to haul it off for them. We would strip the stuff down and make a nice chunk of money from it. It's not easy work, but hey when you really struggling for cash. This type of work can really help. This is a good post and 100% true.
