Ive recycled a many of em

Whether its "worth it" or not, I dont believe in throwing away any metal of any kind.

Surprise buddy, they're going in a landfill

I always seem to always have heavy metal parts or cooper to sell, so I go ahead and also recycle the cans and get a few extra bucks...

Toss them bitches. They really don't recycle them. They're stored in warehouses or "junk" yards in perpetuity. Recycling is a scam.

I have an old 55 gallon drum I keep in the basement, aluminum cans go there, when that fills up bring it to southern recycling in midcity. It’s convenient and I have keep the discarded cans. If it was inconvenient or I didn’t have space then I would not do it. I brought a load before Mardi Gras and walked out with 20 or so bucks.

Put them in your blue can you fricking inbred

Aluminum and other metals are basically the only “recyclable” that actually recycles so yeah I recycle them.

recycling bin in garage that I take out once a week. saves room in the trash can

Same, except mine is the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month. I asked for a 2nd recycle bin. I get these at no cost. Doing this saves me from having a 2nd trash cart. I don't care what the recycle guys do with as long as it doesn't cost me extra.

I recycle them myself and get a little back.

Growing up, helping my dad gather cans at the ballfields and along the road, helped put food on the table and thats stuck with me.

because I don't play along and pretend sorting my trash is somehow going to make the Earth whole?

Ok

I saved cans for a long time. Filled up huge bags that took up the whole bed of my F150 and took to the scrap place near my house. Went home with an extra $20 in my pocket. They've all gone in the trash since then.
