    Hey all. I am one of those guys in the video. Can't believe over 140k people have watched this video. One of the greatest college memories I have was this venture. If you are wondering what we did with the money, we rented a top room hotel overlooking Target Field, had a heck of a night, and watched the Twins beat up the Astros. Even got the wave started. Then we tailgated a WNBA basketball game. LYNX were on their way to an 8 peat. Pretty much the only people in the lot with our brewskis and brats, but it was awesome.

    Cool video, here in Ohio I collect thousands of cans a month and take them in when I get to 500 lbs which is about every 2 months, we are not a deposit state so we get .50 to .55 cents a pound, the way I get so many is I just collect them from all the dumpsters in all the apartment complexes around me, each complex can have up to 10 dumpsters....I don't have to do it but i like doing it, it's just in my blood, I turned my first cans in when I was really young back in the summer of 1986......

    Good job, guys! More importantly, you saved a lot of energy because alumimum from recycled cans is so much cheaper to make than from the raw material, bauxite, plus you saved a lot of landfill space. The money received for your efforts is a bonus. If you are still doing this, a great source would be bars and restaurants. They could save the cans for you and reduce their garbage removal fees substantially. You would probably have to pick up every couple of days at least though.

    In Florida right now it's 40 cents a pound, about a penny a can.
    I went for a ten-mile bike ride yesterday and must've seen a thousand cans on the side of the road, plus hundreds of glass bottles. I'd like to gather them up, but someone would have to pay me more than ten bucks.

    In California, we pay $.05 for every can and bottle under 24 oz. and $.10 for anything over 24 oz. at the store and they can be redeemed for the same. There are about 30 cans in a pound so if they sold 1500 pounds of cans that equals about 45,000 cans, give or take. They would have made about $2000.They could have rented a truck, driven here and made more money

    Good for them. Around here, places will either take cans for free or at an extremely low price since they are so inundated with aluminum cans. It makes more sense here to just trash them. Even then, they cannot be crushed since in the past, people put stuff in the cans like sand then crushed them to make the cans heavier for more money.

    $773 in a year for 12 people. I would be mad as hell if I only made that in a week. I at least have to make twice that in a week. All of this just to prove a point, but it's not a bad idea. I thought they would at least get $1,000 back but it seems like they had a lot of fun.

    I know from personal experience that it is a hugh pain, but you really should pull the tabs. If you recycle them separately a lot of yards actually pay more for them per pound then the whole can. Or you can donate them to the Ronald McDonald house and they use them to help kids in the hospital

    Good job, guys. I hope you are still recycling. I enjoy the thought of not letting a can that will never decompose go to a landfill, plus the energy costs it will save vs. making a new can from raw materials, more than the minimal amount of money I get from turning them in.

    If 32 cans make a pound, it means that every can is worth less than 2 cents. Which honestly, is not worth anything. In my area, each can is worth 10 cents. So it there amount would almost be $5000

    you are lucky in the USA that you can get such a high amount of money for it. Where I live I get 0.20 euro a kg since cans aren't that good of quality copaired to regular alu. So that would be about 10 cents a pound :/

    • @regould221
      @regould221 6 років тому

      Actually AL cans are very good quality AL. You can't metal that thin if it's poor quality. The problem is that the cans can have a large contamination to aluminium wight ratio. Like cigarette butts in the cans.
