Getting "Rid Of" your Aluminum Cans

[bigtiller]

Can you still get the 5 cents a can if they are crushed cans?

no, they have to be in pretty good condition. Sometimes, like new condition is required, depending on the machine or mood of the clerk accepting them.

No redemption value in Ohio so I just got the $0.40/lb. These were not crushed but mostly ‘fist dented’ so that saved some space. I think I had 12 bags.

That's $170... nice payday.

That sure is a nice payday :thumbsup:

In spite of math not being fun.

The coolest way I've seen on the internet to get rid of aluminum cans was done by this guy who melted them in a kiln then poured in fire ant mounds. Filled the passages of some massive fire ant hills creating an aluminum tree.

Another guy was doing something similar but put lightning rods out in fields and somehow got lightning to dig holes he filled with molten aluminum.

They are called fulgurites. They are made naturally.
