Empty beer bottles are recyclable, but you may not have considered the value of all that empty glass and aluminium until recently when a new law in your state made it illegal to throw away your bottles and cans. Since you can no longer discard your empty beer bottles as waste, what can you do with them? And how much is empty beer bottles worth in Namibia?

The recycling process

Recycling is taking something that has been used and turning it into a new product. The process usually involves separating the various components of an item to produce new items. There are many types of recycling, such as recycling paper, glass, metal, etc. It is an important process because it reduces waste and saves natural resources. The most common type of recycling is the recycling of bottles made of glass or plastic.

How Much Are Empty Beer Bottles Worth in Namibia?

Empty beer bottles can be worth money. Many people will collect empty beer bottles and turn them in for money. That being said, there are many factors to consider when evaluating the value of an empty beer bottle. Factors such as where you live, the age of the bottle, and even how clean it is could affect the price you receive. For example, a brewery might only want to buy a six-pack of clean 12-ounce brown glass beer bottles from you. However, they might only offer $2 per bottle because that’s what the market currently values them at. If the same brewery would pay $3 per bottle for your dirty 20-ounce green glass wine bottles then those would be worth more than those 12-ounce brown glass beer bottles on their own.

Bottle recycling can be a lucrative way to make money, especially if you are willing to travel. In Namibia, where the average income is just $3,000 per year, the opportunity for recycling empty bottles could bring in up to $1,500 per month.
