    Food Cans

    I just started this week scrapin, collecting steel food cans from businesses. The best places so far are Pizza establishments. They use #10 cans that have tomato sauce in them. they also use #5 cans that have mushrooms or artichokes in them. The empty weight of the #10 can is 11-12 oz's each and the #5 can weighs about 5-6 oz's. The Papa John's that I collected from today netted me 15 Lbs. It's a start. I won't get rich quick but, Rome wasn't built in a day and building a route takes time. I enjoy the leg work because it will pay off with patience and persistence.
