re: How much is a bag of crushed aluminum cans worth these days?

Thought the same.

He should melt them and pour them into an anthill. Then carefully dig it out and sell it on ebay as art.

Way more money.

They're worth less than the trash bag they're collected in.

Years ago when the city paid for paper and aluminum (now we pay them to collect it), I had a few bags of crushed cans.

I usually just donated the small amount to a charity on their list, but I had so much I figured I'd take the cash this time.

But it was only about $7.40. Then they handed me a voucher and told me to go to another building and wait for a clerk, etc. shite, man, I have to get to work.

There was an old lady who had walked up with some cans, and I asked her if she wanted my voucher. She started jumping for joy and praising Jesus like I handed her the winning Powerball ticket.

Best scrap metal sale I ever made.

Depends on the pore space

I did this when I was a kid.

Of course I put rocks in the cans before I crushed them...
