    .6 on the can

    So I'm guilty of over looking the can wile I have this job (Trash job )
    I encounter Can's so much so - - thats why I let be , I tried here and there but it's hard with the regular job tasks
    But last few weeks I've been trying like 3% effort one day and effortlessly make $12
    so I see that 3% effort per day will yield $10 average
    I feel $40 to $50 per day is the raw amount I have been ignoring
    I need figure a way !!!

    start a can route that may.... "possibly"..... overlap your trash route..
    maybe... "perhaps".. it might also happen on the same day as trash removal....
    then you get them all... most... in there own bag.
    It got to the point I don't even bother crushing them anymore.
    Cans today were .30/lb... but can't hold onto them, take up waayyy too much room
    340 lbs of cans for june... easy peasy, very little time investment.

    Trash recycle is same day , problem is organizing can's before they go to recycle plant.
    can's are mixed with other non .06 items, I'd have to go into bags to separate.
    naturally trash also has plenty of can's .
    I'll set a goal $20 per day

    A Rant ...... I see for my scrapping stile & particular as prices are lower . It's clear that on the way to the yard to stop & sell $20 worth of cans to beef up total sales is worth pursuing . I don't have to look for the cans - there all about , for me it's easy money . It's another avenue like scrapping.
    A pound of mix is .04 to .06 , a bottle is 6.5 cents - free find is free .
