    I saw this idea on another forum. Don't know if I can find it again so I'll try explaining it.

    I doubt this would work for cars, due to clearance.

    Take 2 2x6 or 2x8 boards. Figure out the width of one of your tires, then cut a board to that width. This will be your "end cap".

    Stand your boards upright, then nail your end cap on. At this point it will look like a trough of sorts.

    Don't recall how the other end was, but you wouldn't want it nailed, because you need to be able to drive your tire between the boards. Maybe a 2x4 nailed on the bottom, and then drive over it.

    Fill the trough with cans and start driving back and forth.



    The poster of this idea didn't like the amount of cans he had to scoop up. I say lay a tarp down and then the trough.

    Sounds like it would work, but I have never tried it. If anyone does, let us know how it turns out.
