Recycling at home

I have several goals while I'm here. But the two immediate ones are the following:

(1) Segregate the plastic wrappers, pet bottles, tin cans and cartons.
(2) Find ways to recycle these to make money from trash.

I was thinking of selling the pet bottles, tin cans and cartons for recycling.

It's the plastic wrappers that I still don't know know what to do with. I know my cousin used to cut them into small strips and use it as fillers for homemade pillows. She did it for a high school project. I was thinking of doing the same -- maybe fillers for simple home made stuffed toys and pillows still.

First things first -- I need three clean sacks.
