    Key- I try my hardest to keep them but when I leave for a while I notice some in the fire. I have friends from a town south of me that throw away there cans even though they are five cents each. They must not care that they are losing money. I have alot of room and I bring my cans in like 3 times a year. I always end up with 50 -60 bucks a visit.

    Gus- In Canada do you have to pay an extra 10 cent tax per can when you buy them?

    Absolutely, with this current heat wave drinking my way to my next fortune.

    When we lived in BC it was not uncommon to make $300.00 on a weekend from the tourist bins along the highway and campsites during the summer months. then we used to do a bit of dumpster diving. I bought one those fancy lock picking devices from ebay but found I could pick a dumpster lock faster with my homemade devices a pick and tension bar..

    Yahoo let the good times roll.

    Rememeber Merritt Mountain Music Festival? You could easily come out of there with a pickup truck overflowing with bags of beer cans... until security put a stop to it when the organisers found out how much money they were losing
