5 weeks sounds lightning fast compared to the bags at my pickup bank. I'm thinking quarterly or semi-annually to fill a $500 bag, based on what I've observed so far. I picked one up in early December, and then came back and asked how full it was last Saturday - they didn't give me an exact number but it sounded like it barely had anything in it. There's a post-it note with my contact info pinned to the bag inside the machine, so hopefully I'll get a call when it finally fills.

Ditto. 5 weeks for a bag of halves is nothing. On average, with no CRHing dumping, my guess would be at least 6+ Months to fill a bag

It's a hobby, if you make money, that's just a bonus.
