I am starting a route to collect aluminum cans and clean food cans as a way to make money and keep it out of the landfills. Cities have recycling routes and they charge residents to collect their recyclables. I am contacting them (in person) asking if I can collect their cans for free. My goal is to have 4000 households to collect from on a monthly basis. I have worked out the details to get the route started. I am not and will not take the cans (physically)from the collection bins of each household. I have the homeowner put them aside for me to collect on a scheduled date with their permission. You may think that 4000 house holds is a lot to collect from but once I have everyone on the schedule 200 households a day would take about 5-8 hours day. It will take me a while to get there but, one can at a time, one household at a time adds up (compounding). UBC's and food cans are a consumable product that everyone uses everyday. It's a great repeat business.
