Yeah, the government says they're saving us from ourselves. I think the high booze taxes just increase petty crime. Alcoholic street people will just steal more to get what they need. Sorry for the hijack, OP.

So its funny at these "new" yards here that pay good for Alum Cans, #1 Plastic. #2 Plastic and Glass (that have CRV stamps on them) they look over everything twice! LOL. I had a few 32 oz cans that I had put aluminum foil in and they saw it, were going to refuse my whole load of cans. I tried not to get mad and told them it is not like I put steel or rocks in it, it was aluminum! They refused a few cans but took the rest and said never to do it again.

I am thinking you guys are scamming the CRV and have the balls to get angry and think I am screwing them with some aluminum foil!!! These places are bad, no print out, try and screw you with tare weight, etc.

The last place, I had there coupon which stated that they would "match" what others payed showed them the other coupon and had to make sure I got the $.95 vs $.85 as this place had a weight limit for the better money. The other place has no weight limit! I got the price.

.55 a pound in cicero

Here in CA you can get 1.65 a pound at recycling centers for cans

Hey guys, im shipping my cans to CA

1.58 of that price per pound is the CRV redemption. So after that, at 1.65, you're getting 0.07/lb for the aluminum!

Sims is paying 2.07 right now.

New deal at one yard here if your cans are smashed from the top down you get $.03 more a pound for them. So $.88 for 99 lbs and less and $.98 for 100 + lbs

.55 a lb.
.60 a lb with .05 coupon

Kansas City .60 pd

We get in NZ what's probably US$0.70 cents a Lb.

I have read the pdf of the alco ali cans 'rules and stipulations'.
Its pretty tough, Ok ali foil maybe the same ali, but there's rules specifucally about it.
If and when they find it, the whole load may be condemmed, or not paid for, and the seller may be blacklisted from there on.

So make sure there's nothing else but cans in your load.

If you want to get money from tge ali foil, just squash it up and force it into a ali container like a ali airosol container or a ali car coil container, then bash it in with a hammer, fold the end over so it won't fall out ,then chuck it in with the domestic ali.

But make sure there's no contaminates in your ali cans before you sell them.

Near Toronto $0.75

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone in or around within an hour or so of the Myrtle Beach area could tell me what Al soda cans are going for? I see out in Duncan, SC they're $.81/lb, but that's a little too far away. My family has been saving for a little over a year and I'd say we maybe have 150lbs. My bro in law and I have also been saving all are .22lr casing since that's going for $1.40/lb. Yes, I know it'll take a hell of a lot of .22rds, but if I decide not to reload my centerfire .40 pistol and ar-15 that's even more brass.

For one thing that aluminum is owned by the government. Second, those are not "scrapped" aircraft. They are in storage. The reason they are stored at DMAFB is because Tucson, and southern Arizona in general, has a very hot, dry climate. This allows the aircraft to sit for long periods without being exposed to water which promotes rust. Even when it does rain, the heat dries up the water quickly. It is a very efficient storage climate for aircraft. Again, these aircraft are not scrap. They are stored in case we ever go to war with another country that has a military that can actually compete with ours. Examples: Russia, China, North Korea

Probably not as much as would take to bring them up from scratch.

0.61 yesterday for cans. I was pleasantly surprised.
