    $1.30 for ALU if I bale

    I am (-$2.10) everytime I use this thing!!! That's an expensive parlor trick in my book!!
    Yep, states with deposits don't generate a lot of soda cans in the scrap yard.

    BTW if you move to MI you can double your can income. ;-)

    Yea
    I thought about a log splitter too. I am guilty of tossing the cans like a lot of people. Between the yellow jackets making nests in the bags and them leaking all over the car it is almost not worth it. Finally at my wife's insistence I made one as an attachment to my splitter. I will post a video of it as soon as I figure out how to do it on this forum.
