Do most of you guys bother with the little stuff? And also.. aluminum cans? - Page 2

We get paid by weight, so yes, every can, every time. AL cans are the cornerstone of scrapping!!!!

I'll pick up whatever if it's easily accessible, whether is be a couple cans in the parking lot, or a computer from work. Having a truck helps since I don't have to keep old, used cans inside my vehicle.

Alum can by me is about .02 cents! So yes!

I have a regular who is exclusively a can scrapper, he does $40-60 per day for a half day, he hits all the subsidized housing (duplex's/apartments), mostly cheap beer cans.

But does he live in one of those states where you can get a deposit back (5 or 10 cents per can), instead of a state like mine where we get 35 cents a pound for aluminum cans? (note: I am not sure of the current cost of aluminum cans aqs I have yet to cash in my stockpile & havnt cashed in any for years).

It is amazing how many cans I can find while I am out and about. I go to alot of parks in the middle of nowhere and around camp sites and trails there are tons of cans. The reason I find it amazing is because my state has a 5 cent refund on cans. I guess people are to good to bring them in. My friends laugh at me because I carry trash bags with me when I go out to a park or hunt or even fishing. But I get the last laugh because I make some money.
