Probably where Mandy is is the same as where I am.
We have city recycling pick-up too of course, and we don't get paid for that. That covers newspaper, tin cans, pickle jars, milk jugs, etc.
For 2L, 750mL etc plastic soda/cranberry juice etc, pop cans and liquor bottles... basically the more portable beverage containers, you are charged a few cents extra at the till. In the city you can either leave them around for homeless people/people who are not homeless but collect bottles anyways, or you can save them and take them into the recycling depot and get your deposit back.
If you drink a lot of that crap it adds up! Homeless people/people who are not homeless but collect bottles anyways will snoop around backyards to see who stores up their bottles before bringing them in, and then routinely steal the cache.
Probably more than you ever wanted to know about bottles recycling. lol

Growing up in california soda cans were worth 2.5 cents each if they were recycled at the machines outside the grocery stores, or individual counties had recycling places you could take them and be paid by the pound.
Here in Virginia, there is no fee to purchase the items, so there's no money given back to recycle them. I throw everything in the curb side recycling.

I pay a fee for my raw milk jars and do get that back...and there is a local dairy that sells regular store milk in glass that charges a deposit that you get back. But other ones, i dont think there is a deposit and no, we dont get it back. Usually the states are listed that do that on thr bottles I think
This was hard for me to answer because I live 2 places.
In NY, there is a bottle deposit fee and then you get it back when you recycle them at the can deposit vending machines at the grocery store. I hear there is a place nearby that you can take a bag of cans and they'll just give you monies.
In OH, we would collect cans and sell them to the recycling center for the cost (or a little less) than the current rate of aluminum.

Our milk jugs are recycled at the place we buy the milk. You get a bit off your purchase for every jug returned because they just wash and reuse them.
I don't think there's a fee for the bottles, though. No money given for recycling, either. (Unless it's aluminum. The public bins don't take metal scraps.)
