    I like the idea of running things over. Just hold out on crushing your cans until you have a load of iron to take in. I never come across enough cans at a time to need to resort to any method but my foot. Never even used to crush cans at all until I started scrapping and I just don't have room enough in my garage for 20 some bags of cans anymore. Got me some bins set up. Totes, trash cans, buckets, and those plastic tubs from inside washers are useful. Sorry. Gettin sidetracked.
    Eat. Sleep. Scrap.
