    Have a look around shops or places that have Coke machines & see if you can put your own bin in there, just for cans.

    I did it with one shop & got a large plastic sack of cans every few weeks (5Kgs = US$4~$5).
    I just had to supply the sacks & clean up around it, they made the sign for it.
    Then I had to take the full sack away promptly.
    The cans got sorted, squashed a little (saves space, checked theres nothing else in it (yah don't want to know....) & when crushed into a brick, they keep stuck together)

    The shops changed ownership now & don't have the machine, but the idea worked well.



    Actually, by the time I had a load of metal (sacks & sacks of Ali, stainless steel & copper wire) ready for the scrappers,
    & no vehicle...
    I had enough cans to pay someone to give me & my metal a lift to the scrappers.

    Then I could pay them & leave & they had the rest of the trip to do whatever else they wanted to, with gas paid for..
    Win, win & win
