    Yup - as I go from home to home trash bags are tossed into pick up truck - then 97% of the homes have a clear bag representing
    recyclables of the 97% / 95 % have return type bottles and cans in the mix sometimes a few (3) and some as much as 20 and Up , Naturally return types are also in trash bags that I pull out if in sight 1000 to 2000 returnables per week seems to be the modest number.
    I expect it to fall off a bit in winter .
    As mentioned in the past I find every thing ( typical ) you normally find at the curb including wire . Considering scrap in general is worth .05 # it is clear each returnable is equal to a pound of mix . yet the chances of finding a six cent-ER per customer
    is almost guaranteed.

    I know I'm on a good path as a super market manager came out to inform me to cease as I hit the limit of 240
    I mostly go to return centers but I needed to get rid of a back up that I had in yard .What is happening fast is my new association as to amount of $$ per bag
