Aluminum cans is how I got my start scrapping. We go for walks all the time, and every time we go, whether it be a walking trail, lake, river, we take a bag with us and pick up every can we see. I have a can crusher outside and after crushing the can falls directly into a 55 gallon drum. When the drum is full they go into a drum liner. It usually ends up being about 30 pounds. I get $0.60 at my yard so thats $18 per bag. The bags go behind my shed. I'm currently waiting til i get 10 bags to take them in.
The way i see it is, no one says you are crazy for picking up one penny from the ground, so why should i be considered crazy for picking up every 2 cent can i see. Makes more money to pick up a can than it does a penny.
