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.

Just to update this a little. I'm in N. Calif. and, if I take cans in on Saturday I get a better price than the rest of the week. Got around $1.65 lb about a week ago.
