    If the country is serious about getting more people to recycle to conserve energy and the ecosystem, then every single state should allow for this.

    They charge you 10 cents per canand you have to spend all of this time getting your money back, better off without bc scrapyards will pay you for the aluminum cans, foil or any other metal

    Just go to a recycling center. They’re everywhere. They buy aluminum buy the pound, not per can tho. I believe here in Colorado it’s 79 cents per pound

    I live in Oklahoma but manage to do this by taking my aluminum cans to a scrap metal shop and melting my tin cans into plates and taking them to a scrap metal shop. Pays less, but still a decent way to make money. Basically there are 32 cans in a pound and they pay me 0.63/lbs so an awful lot less but it works ig

    You would make alot more, if y crush those aluminum sida cans. It will allow you put more cans in those big bags and make each bags heavier which will give you a better payout. I used to recycle aluminum cans, we would crush them and take to recycle center for payment. Crush can standing up (vertical, bag will weigh more per lb). Don't lay cans on side and flattened, will make bags per lb lighter and take twice as much to fill bag all way up. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to help Planet 🌏 to stay clean, have fun, and get compensated for doing it.

    How long did it take for you to find those cans did you find them did someone give them to you how much did you pay for those plastic bags how much gas did you use to transport it to the recycling center. You have to take that into account so yes you made $40 what was the profit. Now if someone transported it for you you didn't have to do gas if someone gave you those bags you don't have to pay for. For you it was probably pure profit 100% but not for everybody that's nothing if you had to put that back for gas

    Yeh its not something you can do everyday or even week lol unless you really out there looking for them , I usually recycle once or twice a year and I crush all the cans so save space and to makes the bags heavier , I’ll save them for about 6-8 months and get back $300-$400 which isn’t crazy but it’s nice extra cash for just saving your cans and bottles

    You're just getting the extra 0.05/0.10 cents extra they charge you when you purchase whatever was in the containers. 🤷 So you're not actually "making money" you're just getting it back. ... unless you're grabbing up cans, bottles from other places, which you never spent that extra money for. and, as long as you're obtaining them legally you're fine. Like, you can't just go around grabbing them from people's recycling bins... And in many states, you have to return these cans/bottles to the specific store they were purchased from, They won't take any from other stores. When you go to a recycling center, you won't get as much as they go by lbs not each individual can/bottle
