I remember taking my brother's wagon door-to-door to our neighbors asking if they had any bottles they didn't want - and we'd make out like bandits! (Can you actually imagine going door-to-door today, basically asking your neighbors to give you money?!)
I can't, but I imagine I'll be doing that with my kids one of these days. Michigan has $0.10 deposits on bottles and cans and every now and then some group will have a fundraiser to go door-to-door and collect bottles and cans to turn in for the deposit refund.

I can't imagine doing it just to do it though.
