I learned my lesson- hopefully less experienced recyclers will too and seek out an alternative as I and many others have!



    As far as the aluminum.. cans must be in a different league for a reason I do not know. I get .50 for cans.. and .40 for sheet aluminum.. Makes ZERO sense to me!
    Aluminum cans are food grade aluminum there for pay more, it's a more pure aluminum and is easyer and cheaper to use recycled aluminum.
