I've been trying to neaten things up this morning, and thought I'd find out exactly when and where I can take those aluminum cans we've been crushing for 4 months.
I found out they're paying 25 cents a pound, which doesn't sound too bad except the cans are pretty light. I got on the scale with and without the bag of cans, and the cans appear to only weigh about 8 pounds. That's $2--meaning it will take over 2 years to recoup the cost of the can crusher!
Oh, well, there is the entertainment factor in crushing the cans...

5 cents per can is incentive enough to recycle...but the unsmashed cans take up alot of space to store...and then in the car.
