aluminum pet food containers

Pet stores not such a good source. I managed apet supply store for 8 years. There are nearly no stores that still carry dogs and cats and when they did wet food was rarely used. It can create a mess going in and coming out. And any manager worth their title writes up and sends busted cans back to the supplier for credit. One option you may want to try however is humane societies.

I just asked at my yard, and they take the aluminum pet food cans at can price ($.55 per lb, currently) if you take the labels off. Much better than sheet price.

My parents have two fat cats, and they save all their cans (pop cans, pet cans, tin cans, etc.) for me. It works out pretty well.

My mom has a bunch of cats, every 2 weeks the recycling bin is full of steel and aluminun cans (she takes the labels off when she rinses them out so they don't stink). And every time they get put out for pickup somebody comes by and takes them before the truck shows up along with the aluminum pop cans (pisses her off but I don't care as long as they don't make a mess).

Whoever is taking them better watch out... The PD in a lot of towns consider raiding recycling bins at the curb as stealing, considering that the town itself or the company holding their waste management contract recycles those items for their own financial gain.

I wouldn't be too sure of that... Many crazy cat ladies are also hoarders, and their landlords are going to have to hire somebody to clear out those smelly cat dungeons once they serve that eviction notice...

However, to get back on subject, I suppose one could talk to their local humane society about picking up empty pet food cans. But I imagine that they would be hesitant to separate the cans from their regular trash for you, and like pet stores, they'd probably be more inclined to purchasing dry food.

We have 6 cats and buy canned food for them.....I just started saving them about a month ago...want b long till I have a barrel full.....all the extra coins I can make is fine with me

Not that I would bother with cans but I did read a while back that 73% of hoarders were women, who were mostly also pet owners. Just food for thought
