    Are cans even wvorth it in my situation?

    Hey all, sorry for the typo in the title.

    I've been offered a deal to have access to the dumpsters at 3 high schools thrugh a business contact, I checked them out a few times, usually get filled halfway every week with mixed recycles (mostly from vending machine product scrap, paper is separate) about half cans.

    The yard is 30km away and when the car is filled completely with uncrushed cans its worth about $20 @ .45/lb

    Im just really not sure its worth it with the need to dumpster dive, get garbage bags for it all.

    Let's say I get 3 loads a week, That means I dive in 3 seperate dumpsters, use 20 garbage bags, use $15 in gas and make ~$60? I just really dont know.
