Mouldy just a thought ...have you ever considered house-sitting? www.housecarers.com is a site you might check out. At first glance it looks like it's just for people wanting to place an ad for a house sitter. click onto Find House Sits to choose a state & locate house sitting jobs. Sometimes there is pay involved if part of the job includes taking care of a pet.

(too bad I don't know how to sew wellMouldy, methinks that's not a great idea... Just sayin. I can, however vouch for the returnable cans and bottles in some states, though I think $100/day is optimistic, as there is actually competition for them. Best bet is to memorize the garbage/ recycling routes for the week in a more populated area. Be prepared to be awake and moving before 3 am, as our trashman comes at 4:30. Also, be advised, that some refuse companies claim that returnables are their property once they are placed on the curb. (legally, I believe the curb is public property, as it is part of the street, but some have been threatened with arrest Nonetheless.) Another commodity that can be looked for is recyclable metals, ie. Copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, etc. Tin and steel, too but they are much heavier and bulkier. Metal yards will pay by the pound, sometimes with a 100 lb minimum. Be prepared to show a drivers liscense, as theft of building materials is a big problem, and most crooks don't want a revisit or paper trail of their theft. I still do recycling, though not as much as I used to . Now it's mostly remodeling leftovers, as I'm a builder and contractor. ( psst- the average cell phone has $1.40 worth of gold in it, and a computer has about $12-14 , but you have to extract it...))
