    If anyone knows someone in the pace area that recycles cans for cash, have them contact me.

    They should bring a pickup truck.

    My father-in-law’s yard man scraps metal for extra cash but he doesn’t have a computer. He would love to take them off your hands.

    Sorry guys. My neighbor contacted a fellow worker and she hauled off the first P.U. truck load today and will finish tomorrow. I had a couple of interested folks contact me but were no-shows.

    Who were you working for? I'll make sure to not patronize them. That's very shitty and those companies need to pay.

    Amazing how that works, you can't even get people to show up for free stuff lmao why I'm done with society.
    This friend of my neighbor took a load off yesterday and will come back for the rest today. Uncrushed, it would take three trips with her Dodge. She crushed them using a box just like someone crushing grapes for wine. I'm told that a Pensacola recyc dealer is paying up to 50 cents a pound. When she wraps it up, I got to ask her what she net.

    Called. Gave directions. Told me he would be here in the morning. No show and he dropped off the earth.
    I think you're going about it all wrong. Offer to load it up for them and you'll pay $0.52 per pound for their trouble. Times are changing quickly and we need to really reward people for the chance to make a little money. This country is f#cked if changes don't happen quickly. So sad .

    Thank you very much for your post. I do not want to say. They have backed off for now. It did push me to decide to retire as soon as I am eligible in the next few years. Made me realize time with my family is worth more than any amount of money. God bless my wife who isn’t that concerned with material things.

    Contentment is worth more than people realize and family is worth more than anything. :)

    I used to save aluminum cans up north, but it doesn't seem to be as big a thing around here. :confused:

    Bury it in your backyard. Like it's an old school savings account. When it's $2.00 a pound and having beaten inflation and the stock market then you'll thank yourself. I know a plumber who did this with scrap copper pipe

    Pays more in Maine. My foreman in Maine told me that when he was in college his parents owned a convenience store in Gardiner and took in cans and he said they made more on the cans by owning the store where the redemption was then the store made as a gas station

    Gardiner, ha. I did my National Guard drills in the Armory there. We kept our planes at Augusta Airport.
