First I would say the satisfaction I get from being part of the solution. I like the opportunity to get rid of large clutter that takes up too much space in the garbage can. In the long run, saving both the environment, resources, and money.

Recycling reduces the need for raw materials, so that our forests can be preserved. By reducing the amount of energy required in production of new materials through recycling, we are also conserving our energy resources, for ourselves as well as our future generations.

I must say there's no financial benefit you can earn. BUT, if you don't do recycling, you're paying for it. Because resources are wasted and less and harder and get. It's a simple rule that things are valued when they are rare, like a panda.
Perhaps there're some organizations paying for your recycling.
