We'll See if This Holds Up

Cutter's Log - Supplemental

In my recent headache of things, I wondered if there was any other way I could possibly make a little more money.

A few years ago we had a garage-full of empty pop cans that were meant to be recycled one day. That day came years later when I wanted to take them to the recycling center in Galt for some cash. All those cans and only $8. I was disappointed, but in the end I got at least some cash and a cleaner garage.

Plus, I think jumping up and down crushing them helps burn calories.

I think there are 32 standard pop cans to one pound, and maybe 24 16-oz cans to one pound (if my math is correct). I've seen ads for alumnimum at an average of 40 cents/pound. This rate will vary depending on the recycling center, and where I end up traveling to on the way to a game.
