recycling beer for beer

I start with a 30 pack of busch. $17.99.
About 1 lb. of aluminum per 30 pack. $0.45 per pound recycled.
$17.99 / $0.45 = 39.97.
so every 40th 30 pack is paid for.... (excluding gas/time/and a full truck.)



even though I go through a 30 pack in about 3 days...
121 30packs a year
= 3 free 30packs per year.

I still don't waste my time with the cans that fill my whole truck up for a few bucks though.. it's like i'm throwing away free beer.
