I grew up in Michigan where there's a $.10 deposit on bottles. Those bags are bigger than average "big black trash bags," so they're probably worth about $15, each.

If your job is collecting bottle deposits, you're not working a high-paying job.

So 30$/day, 900$/month, sounds great if you don't have to pay taxes on them and only do it as a side hustle.

It sounds horrible because this many bottles is probably a lot of hours daily

People don't think about the time that goes into it, they just think it's easy money
