I'm from Oregon where we have super market bottle return reverse vending machines and saved up tons of those flattened ones I picked up while walking my dog to take to the yard as the reverse vending machines only take uncrushed cans. I went to turn them in and the yard wouldnt take them thinking they were stolen from a markets return area. So im saving them hoping someone nicer is working the scales someday.

Thats cool... Billy and Mash taste terrible, but cool looking cans. Dont remeber seein Sturgis cans.

i usually stay away from cans ,they take to much effort to make money off em ,and the garbage companys provide recycling in my area for most of em .....i hate litter bugs ,and pick them up when i see them on the ground ,....and hate it when peaple throw them in landfills ,so sometimes i'll grap em out of regular trash just to get them recycled .......i have a few stops i make where there are quite the alcohalics residing so i do get can donations kinda regular ,.....mostly all the cans i get are beer ,with energy drinks at a close second ........
