Hi Silviya, I am a lifestyle coordinator in Australia, we save a lot of the plastic bottles, cans and beer bottles that residents consume at meals and Happy Hour and recycle them at the local recycling depot. We have raised a fair bit of cash from time to time. We ask what the residents want to use the money for at our monthly resident meeting and then spend the funds. Sometimes they just want us to buy things that we can put on the Pop-up Shop, an activity we run twice a month. It is like a shop except residents dont pay for any of the goods. We also get donations as well for the shop. Hope these ideas have helped.

Great idea John thanks
