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.
    Congratulations Texas, you have certainly done you're homework on the figures mate.

    You are right it will pay off, and it sounds like that you certainly have the persistance....Just keep at it mate!
