Depositing cans at a grocery store or selling them by the pound - what makes more?

Just curious.

In Cali I do not think we have been able to return bottles and cans back to a store for many decades. We have recycling stations where I fill trash cans with my recycleables. I only go about once every 6-8 months when the filled trash bags keep getting in the way in my shed. Probably got 10 filled ones right now. Time to go.

sorry, I can not answer the question. you probably need to count and weigh to see for yourself. I always have then weigh the lot. Just glad to get my shed room back.
