How much money can you get from a lb of cans roughly?

Question

Just looking for someone who has taken cans to a recycling center before.

Roughly how much do they give you for a pound of cans?

Answer 1

Easiest way to determine this is weigh one can and then divided that by one pound. then take that number and multiply it by .05 to get the amount.

Answer 2

Call around.  I had a place that offered 30 cents per pound, and I thought that was GREAT.  But the next place I called was only a couple miles further, and they paid 45 cents per pound.

We crush them as we use them, and take them in when they don't fit in our barrel anymore, our last take - just a few bags and we made more than $20.

Answer 3

a 55 gallon trach bag loaded with returnables, is about 7 to 9 bucks worth.
