• Monday, April 14, 2008 - Aluminum Can Update

So my total for 1 month (actually just 5 evenings) was 335 minutes of walking, or 5 hours and 35 min. 

March 9, 2008 90 minutes,  2 grocery bags full of aluminum cans (plus 2 bags of garbage!)

March 10, 2008  70 minutes, 5 bags of aluminum cans!

March 11, 2008 50 minutes, 1 large white trash bag of crushed cans!

March 12, 2008 35 minutes, almost 1 large white trash bag full!

March 14, 2008 90 ,minutes, 2 large white trash bags full +

My husband was heading in to the recycler today, so he took my cans in for me.  My grand total was $22.50.  Alumunum is now 50 cents a pound.  I made over $4/hr. walking the ditches.  My husband thinks I should calculate by the mile instead of the hour and it would look really good! 

Now, to start all over again!

Good job, keep walking on. The price of cans is cheap there. Here in So. Calif we get $1.92 a pound.
I wonder why there is sucha price difference?
Keep walking. God Bless.mj

To answer MJ here, I believe the reason aluminum is not worth as much here in Montana is because we literally only have one recycler in the state and they have a monopoly! They can set their prices and what choice do we have?
