Answer 1

do a websearch for aluminum recycling in your area. each place is different but right now in S.C and GA. cans are selling for $.90 per pound. it takes 16 normal 16 ounce cans to make 1 lb. i am disabled and make around $400 a week collecting and selling cans. Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Yes, you can sell cans for money. I collect soda and beer cans from trash cans at parks and grocery stores. Get a large plastic bag and keep the cans in there. Here in the Midwest we get about 60 cents a pound so you need a lot of cans to make good money. You take them to a recycle, look in the phone book for the nearest one in your area. I average about $40 a month during the Spring and Summer months. If you keep them at home, try to keep the cans in a large trash container covered up to keep bugs away. Also take the can and pinch it a little then stomp on it to make it even smaller so you can get more cans in your bag....GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

I think you bring them to like a recycling plant and they'll pay you for them.

Answer 4

This all depends on what state you live in. In California there are recycling centers in many shopping centers and other public places and you get roughly 5 cents a can.

Answer 5

Depending on what state you are in, the can should say if it is redeemable for a certain amount of money. Some supermarkets do have places where you can recylcle them for money.  You need to check around your town to see who does this.

Answer 6

If you are talking about aluminum cans, there are recycling businesses that buy them by the pound. It will depend on your locale. It's a good idea! Check your phone book under "Recycling" or call your local city hall and ask them about it. Good luck to you!
