Selling bulk aluminum cans

I live in a small town in a remote part of Montana. There is no scrapyard in town (the one we had shut down 2 years ago). The closest yards are 2.5 hours east or west of me. I was thinking of starting an aluminum can recycling business. Lots of beer drinkers up here. I don't have the funds or the know-how to start a full fledged scrap yard. The can recycling would be in addition to the scrapping I already do. My question is who do I sell the cans to? The closest scrap yard? If I got enough volume who would be the next guy up the chain to approach? Who do the scrapyards sell to? I guess I could just call up the yards and ask them, but they may consider it proprietary information. Any ideas?
This post may belong in the Scrap Room Forum. If so, I will move it. Thanks.

Can you make a deal with the scrap yard about getting a container dropped off? It may not be worth there time for a 5 hour round trip though. Even if you crushed the cans in order to get more in the container. How long do you think it would take to fill up one? And you would need some cash up front to purchase the cans, what are the yards that are 2 1/2 hours away paying for cans? Do people have to go to those towns anyway for normal errands or appointments and would or could take there cans in at that time?
