cans for scrapping

[blondie71]

My husband and I save cans some time when smash them so we can get more in a bag and also so they fit in the car.  Were we live cans are about .52 cents a pound and I know in other states they are paing higher prices sucfh as Caifornia I have see where it was over one dollar per pound.  When its down here whe tend to hold them until they go up in price.  We all got do what we got do to survie with the cost of living going up.  Sometimes when have enough to get to West Plains but not enough to get home so we bring the cans with us for gas money to get home.

No it doesn't make them weigh more, what happens is more cans fit into the bag making the bag weigh more.

I have never heard that either. I used to save them but I don't really have enough anymore to amount to anything so I take them to work for recycking.

No, crushing the cans don't make them weigh anymore.  It just makes them more compact and helps save room

Our city does a great job on recycling.  We have curb side pickup for recyclables.

I keep soda cans separate from the tin cans and bottles as we get paid for the aluminum ones.  We don't earn much from the cans, but just like Fusion Cash, every penny adds up!

This reminds me of when we hired pickers to pick beans and they would put rocks in the bottom of the basket.  It just took a lot of beans to fill a bushel and I guess that helped to fill it up.  My dad finally caught on and would then empty the basket and replace the beans and then weigh!

  Hhhmmm, interesting question.  Don't think it would weigh any more unless it still had soda in it lol but  never tested it out.  Do save soda and beer cans though to scrap because it makes a little change back toward the cost of buying these products and if nothing else I throw the change in my piggy bank for an even rainier day..I say that because financially it seems like my days are all "rainy" days lol
