    Good luck. Let us know what the weight is and the prices in you're area.

    That's a good price on cans. I only got .50 a pound the last time I took cans in. I'm looking forward to the spring weather here so I can pick up cans. I like to go out on Saturday morning and pick up cans along country roads. I get my exercise in and get paid to do it. Extra incentive!

    Other than that my only source for aluminum cans is family members who save theirs for me. It takes some time to accumulate them.

    Be careful of taking from recycle bins. Those are income sources for stores or cities. they might consider it stealing.

    Hey, might I suggest stashing away a little bit from each one of your loads, it adds up fast. Don't scrap in vein.
