You can still get recycle money in the US. You can sell aluminum, plastic and glass buy the pound. And there is usually a deposit on glass and plastic you can get back also but the straight up scrap cost is usually better. One 55 gallon trash bag of aluminum cans usually gets about $20 and one bag of plastic gets about $8.

do you have to drive far to sell it to someone?
In Singapore we do have it but more of it's actually seen as a 'lower job' by collectors
There are lots of places around here. Plus its California so everyone has a car haha. Lots of offices, stores, etc collect recycling and someone takes in once a month or so. But there are also lots of homeless that rummage through trash and take in what they find.
