aluminum cans

So I recently started picking up cans I see on the side of the road. I live in a rural area, and have always seen cans all over; figured why not pick em up.
Anyway - was wondering for those of you who pick them up, what kind of can do you see more?
Beer? Soda? Energy drink?
Every can I've picked up so far has been a beer can..

Im in a photgrophy class, and whenever i go down this rural road that i used to work on (real pretty!) I mainly see beer cans. Some soda, some energy, but mainly beer. This one day, there was a walmart bag just full of them.

Beer cans. Mgd, miller lite and icehouse. I pick em up when walking the dogs. On going motorists must think im a drunk walking with a 22oz mgd can at 2:00 in the afternoon.

I find mostly beer an energy drinks. I find it funny on the energy drinks, all that energy an you had to toss it out the window or drop it instead of carrying it to the can! All that energy wasted..lol. Oh an it's mostly cheap beer, around here. Nasty water in a can like Busch, Natural light, etc.

An NH I agree with ya buddy, pisses me off to see the litter anywhere, but even more so on my sandbar. The southern half is a national wildlife refuge for birds, turtles, an other sea critters. I smoke, an I want to pull a Hypoman an punch people in the face when I see them flick butts out the window. Buy a **** butt can people! Having spent time out in AZ an the wild fires, it annoys the hell out of me.

I can only improve my corner of the world an do my best to keep the stuff off the ground when I can.

On a side note....When I used to work over nights many years ago, we'd get off at 7 am roll into 7-11 to grab a 6 or 12 pack, an man the look we'd get from people! I put in my 12 hours, if I want a cold beer when i get home at 8, thats my business! lol. Try explaining that to the suits..not everyone works 9 to 5. LOL.

Sirscrapalot - Punch'm in the face! - Hypoman

A couple months ago, someone parked in front of my office and tossed her fast food bag and drink into the rocks in the planter area. She then went a few doors down to a warehouse sale. I went and grabbed the trash and threw it back into her car through an open window. I was standing outside still when she came back. She left the trash in her car.

I'm in rural area too. See 98% beer cans. And the big ones, not regular almost all big ones

Maybe it's due to the open container laws, they can toss their soda cans in a bag, but those beer cans gotta go through the window ; )

One of the things I near always used to drop through the window was the little strip of cellophane from top a cigarette pack, I don't even toss those any more but wad em up and put em in a trash bag. It's not a hard habit to break if you'll think about a poor little bird choking on it before tossing it out the window

Hopefully they are full beer cans Lol. but most of my cans are beer cans as well.

Mostly beer cans. I found so many when I was little, I started a beer can collection. Now I have over 4,500 different cans. If I have saved 4,500, imagine the number I have recycled. Talk about hoarding your scrap. I think I will have the family scrap the collection to pay for my wake, 4,500 full cans of beer. Sir can you bring the cooler.

I live right on one of PA's best creeks, the Yellow Breeches. Come summertime, I can strategically place a tree or limb with alot of branches on the current side of the bend out back. So when the punks who think it's a great idea to just let there cans float away come by, I can just hop on my little homemade pirate ship, float down, collect cans from my trap, and enjoy a few cold ones myself along the way. And yep. They are always beer cans.
-I also seem to come across alot of aluminum trim from doors that floated away in the floods along the creek...

Wow I thought I was the only doing that... I quit collecting at 450 but I never found any full cans ( there was a couple Coors but I poured them out).

I have been given two six packs of Billy Beer, a case of Mash beer, and a case of Sturgis Bike Rally cans, all full. The Sturgis cans were like pouring oil out of them. We joke that the Sturgis Beer can be drank or poured into a Harley to replace the oil. Never found full cans on the side of the road. Did find a full fifth of whiskey in a scrap vehicle once.
