I used to turn in glass/plastic for recycling, but glass was always tricky to handle without breaking, and plastic was too much work, so they go in the "common recycling can" that the county picks up. I still recycle aluminum for cash, using one of those big wheely-bins with the flip-over lid.
When I recycled plastic bottles, the recycling place required that the lids be off, so I would flatten the bottles and put the lid on before tossing in the bin. Weeks later, when I was ready to haul them away, the heat had baked them enough that I could remove lids and the bottles would stay flat. Took up much less space. :-)
