My wife dosen't buy Coke in the plastic bottles any more, she buys cans to go along with my favorite cans and we get $ for them. I save the recycle for a quartley trip, look like Sanford & Son. Do you rember that TV show?
Here is some shelves we built from scrap wood, these were in my old garage, they were about 8-12' tall in some places, and spanned from the front to the back of each side of the garage. not the best view, because the picture was taken to show my newest ladders.
Here are some pics from my old garage, we recycled a lot of stuff from construction sites,a nd either used or stored it in there. it is a bit of a mess because I took these as we were moving out, and cause that garage was always a mess! These are in no order at all, sorry. This was a 3 car wide garage with an addition added across the back,
If it will burn without a lot of smoke, it goes through the woodburner. If it's metal, it gets seperated and sold to the highest paying vendor by element.
If it's not worth my time, it gets 'donated' to someone that has more time. Old clothes go to the mission or Goodwill. Old furniture goes to 'FREE-Cycle', a local website where you can offer items that you don't need or want.
(If there is no free-cycle in your area, START one!) We have 2 here.
My daughter is the moderator of one site and my wife runs the other one! You won't BELIEVE what people want 'hauled away'!!
There has been TONS of stuff carried off my front porch! (that might have ended up in a landfill!)

I had 2 metal desk drawers that was in the scrap pile and I wanted to make something to haul my tools around. So I bolted them together, had angle iron welded to the bottom for support and for the wheels. Lastly i put a door on one side and painted the whole thing.
