You know times are tough and everyone is scrapping when you see two different people walking to work and both of them are carrying 2 or 3 stomped aluminum cans. Saw it this morning.

ROFL
Yeah, guilty. Done it.
I don't even hunt cans per se, but if I'm out and see one near the van, I'll stomp it and put it in under the seat, or I keep a bucket in the back for potentially sticky/leaky cans.
I do the same thing. I have been trying to walk a bit to get more exercise (brisk pace), and when I do I wear trousers or shorts with cargo pockets for any scrap I find on the side of the road. If I find cans I will flatten then and stick them in one of the side pockets. I generally hoard cans until I have about 100 lbs before I turn them in.
Question if 2 cents were on the sidewalk would you pick them up? A can is now worth 2 cents! Pick them up while you can:D
A can is 5 cents here :)Quote:

Same in NYQuote:
