    Can Trip

    Made the short trip to the yard I sell my cans at and weighed in at 133 lbs of aluminum cans. At 40 cents a lb came out with $53.20. Nice little chunk of change. Had a few various small aluminum items I took in as well as some christmas lights and including those my total came out to $58.30. Not bad considering the amount of time I put work in on this was less than 2 hours.

    You found 133 lbs of cans in 2 hours? That is quite a good haul. Well done.

    60 lbs of the cans came from the garbage bin full of crushed cans I have outback. All the cans from my house go in there and when its full I take it in. The rest came from a hotspot of mine.
