I start with a 30 pack of busch. $17.99.
About 1 lb. of aluminum per 30 pack. $0.45 per pound recycled.
$17.99 / $0.45 = 39.97.
so every 40th 30 pack is paid for.... (excluding gas/time/and a full truck.)
even though I go through a 30 pack in about 3 days...
121 30packs a year
= 3 free 30packs per year.
I still don't waste my time with the cans that fill my whole truck up for a few bucks though.. it's like i'm throwing away free beer.
Too bad brain cells can't be recycled, once they're gone they're gone, lol, Mike.

Never weighed an empty can. Anybody know the average weight of an empty beer can? Is it safe to say they are worth aprox. a penny each?

32.4 per lb Cans are .74 lb by me so .02 each
29 cans = a lb

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory" to his buddy, Norm.
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine ! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." -- Cliff Clavin

Why live like this,
When you can hang like this!
That's just how I roll,
When the white man discovered this country Indians were running it
no taxes, no debt, women did all the work.
White man thought he could improve on a system like this. - Old Cherokee saying
