    These are the same people who buy Al cans for $1.00/lb. I figured they were cashing in the cans for deposit out of state, but the PETEs I can't see how they could be cheating since I give them more than bottles ie containers that cherry tomatoes are sold in and other packaging. This also fills up large buckets quickly so I always cut my plastic up before putting into the bucket.
    Only one place buys the other #1 plastic for $.25 and no produce / fruit containers. Prices are weird at each place.
    #1 plastic CRV $.35
    #1 plastic non CRV $.25
    #2 plastic CRV $.15
    #2 plastic non CRV natural / clear $.10
    #2 plastic color non CRV $.04
    Glass CRV bottles $.04
    Glass bottles / jars non CRV $.03
    Alum Cans $.98 need 100 lbs and smashed flat from the top down

    If Arizona is not a CRV state, (Here CRV means California Redemption Value), why are they paying more for it? I get $1.12 for #1 CRV and is $30 to $50 a week, easy money! Something just don't seem right there Hobo, but get it if they are paying more for it!
