Aluminum Cans

[alexfm123]

How much are you guys getting for cans? I sold some yesterday, and the guy was paying 43 cents a pound, and 44 cents if they were crushed. I sold 21lbs of cans for $9.25. Is that what you guys are averaging? Im in far West Texas, by the way.

There's a place I go to here in Austin that's paying 48 cent a pound if you have a Ton or more,and other than that it's 44 cents a pound.

I took 74 lbs in a couple weeks ago and they were only at .40 in Indiana.

 

[homefires]

Damn! I only get .30 lb here.

If I drive the 100 miles to El Paso, I can get almost twice that.

What yard in Chicago do you go to? I go to Cicero Iron but I don't know what they pay for cans, it's been a while since I brought any in. -Garbageman

I cashed some cans in out here in Calif. a couple weeks back and got $1.57 a pound.
However Cali has a fee of 5 cents a can that is charged when one purchases the beverage and the cans are stamped with CRV (California Redemption Value) on the top of each can. The redemption centers are not suppose to take non CRV cans, but some people have been known to bring in out of state cans and redeem them.
