In South Africa, we are fortunate enough to have access to recycling facilities for most of our waste. This means that we can all do our bit to reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfill sites. However, many people are not aware that they can actually get paid for recycling plastic bottles in South Africa.
There are a number of companies that offer this service, and the amount you can earn will depend on the company you choose to recycle with. However, as a general guide, you can expect to earn around R5 for every kilogram of plastic bottles that you recycle.
So, if you’re looking to make some extra money, or simply want to do your bit for the environment, then recycling plastic bottles is a great option.
