How much of a reembersment do you get when recycling cans in Missouri? Is it by the pound or by the can?

Question

We've started saving up our cans to recycle and since my daughter is the "Designated Crusher" we're letting her keep the money. How much can we expect or does anyone know of a good web-site to get info on recycling in Missouri?

Answer 1

Southeast Missouri is by the pound. Also, don't bother crushing them, they still weight the same.

Answer 2

You don't say what part of the state you are in.  Here are some recycling exchanges that can put you in touch with scrap metal dealers in your area.  There are lots in missouri.  Throwing away a single aluminum can is like pouring out six ounces of gasoline.
