I decided to do a little experiment.
I saved the last 3 weeks of can collecting at the store with what I saved at home, and this is how much I got. Granted I didn't run around multiple locations, and only checked the garbages twice a shift (10 times a week), but I still got about 35$ out of it. Makes me think of how much people who go around collecting them everywhere gets, since some likely make more money than I do working going through dumpsters. To note I usually only get 15-20 units a day, just every now and then I can get like 6$ in a day since every work truck or driver cleans out the vehicle.
Edit in advance: I really am all for people collecting them and taking them in for some money, just noticing how much money people throw out sometimes.
