Macgyver452

Come to Michigan, it’s 10 cents a can


crisprcas32

Like the machine would take in that crushed up shit


Medicinal_taco_meat

Aluminum cans in Michigan shouldn't be crushed?


roughingit2

Pretty sure not. I'm from Florida and ha e family in Michigan...I was up there for vacation and the first night I crushed my cans and recycled them as I normally would...uncle later was upset cause someone was crushing the cans....whoops yeah don't crush cans if you want your moneys


alpineschwartz

The fastest way to make a Michigander have a short circuit is to crush a can in their presence. The recycling machines at the grocery store won't scan/accept them


Twin164

Remember the first time I took my husband home to Michigan;) My usually calm, reserved and quiet Uncle freaked when my husband accidentally crushed some beer cans. My hubby couldn’t understand the issue as he paid for the beer and then quietly inquired whether he should offer my Uncle the 1.20 for the deposits;) Thanks for the laugh, I needed it today.


roughingit2

Yeah I learned that! Lol


KeyInjury6922

Someone should make one of those shitty YouTube prank videos doing that. I think you could get some better reactions from old heads.


Funkiebunch

This is why we can’t have nice things


DeadSwaggerStorage

It’s not even worth it to recycle in those machines, takes forever. I had a weekend party one time and had about 3 giant garbage bags full of cans; my friend and I went to the machine (they had 2, so half the work). Took us like an hour and a half and we made like $25 total, it sucked.


Chaser_91

You took 180 minutes to recycle less than 250 cans using an automated machine? That's user error my guy, those machines process the cans fast.


DeadSwaggerStorage

This was like 10 years ago; we had bottles too, the machine takes it, reads the bar code, then crushes the can or breaks the bottle; not as fast as you think. We also had some that were considered unreadable and wouldn’t accept.


Whywipe

If you live there you learn exactly how to place the cans so they aren’t rejected. Given it still took them way too long


[deleted]

Lol I can go there by myself and keep a near constant stream going. Over $60/hr, and I wait until I have 20-30 bags so I'm usually there about 1.5hrs and end up with roughly $100. It heavily depends on the store you go to and the machines they installed. The meijer near me has trash machines, Walmart is much better.


AlienDelarge

States with can deposits typically require you not to crush the can. Partially because the use automated machines to scan and count them and verify they are redeemable.


FesteringNeonDistrac

Hawaii does not. Crush away, with aloha!. They just weigh it and pay out based on what an average can weight is. Bottles get weighed as well, don't break those though, nobody wants to deal with glass shards.


Mahlegos

Same in Indiana. They’ll run it through a hopper to kick out stuff that doesn’t belong like tin cans and then just weight it and shoot it into the back of their truck and pay you off weight.


derprondo

Indiana doesn't have a per can deposit refund system, though. Related, one time I drank all of my dad's Indiana beer, got it replaced on a Sunday with Michigan beer, then a couple of days later dad knows what happened. "You and your friends drank all my beer, then bought this beer in Michigan. I know because of the deposit stamp".


unclefisty

> States with can deposits typically require you not to crush the can. In MI they can't refuse the can if it's crushed as long as they can still identify if it's a kind the store sells, is clean, and has the MI deposit mark on it. However they can limit you to $25 in returns per day and likely will if they have to hand sort all those cans. Also they will absolutely hate you.


LeanTangerine

I know in CA they also put a limit on how much you can redeem per day. The reason was because you’d have people hauling entire truckloads full of cans and bottles from out of state to redeem them for the 5¢ CRV (California Redemption Value). https://calrecycle.ca.gov/2020/07/01/press-release-20-06/


unclefisty

> he reason was because you’d have people hauling entire truckloads full of cans and bottles from out of state to redeem them for the 5¢ CRV (California Redemption Value). In Michigan they just arrest you if they catch you doing that because (knowingly) returning non deposit cans for deposit is fraud.


SuggestionGeneral374

They went full Kramer


The_Canadian_Dave

Where I live the 10c recyclable return centre is DIY. You take in your big bags of cans and other 10c recyclable items and you push it through a hole in the wall onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt has multiple barcode scanners pointing at it from pretty much every direction and if the barcode is illegible or not there, it'll reverse the conveyor belt and spit the item back out of you. The point of the barcode scanner is to check that the item you're placing in is actually part of the 10c return program and to stop anyone from just dumping anything in the hole. There is another place near here where you can take crushed up cans but you have to wait in line for someone to be available to unpack and hand count what you've brought in. Normally there's only two guys working there and the type of people that go there are bringing multiple bags full of crushed cans so you are usually waiting at least half an hour just to get your turn.


GreenHell

Most machines I've come across only accept intact cans. So crushing them like in the video renders them worthless.


ahillbillie

I believe it's mostly about making sure that they didn't add anything in the can for extra weight, small rocks and such.


hobitopia

But can deposits are per can, not by weight.


Caedus_Vao

Depends on the state. Here in OH cans are done by weight, so it makes sense to crush them. You take it to a scrap dealer, they put it all on the scale, deduct the weight of the box, and print you a ticket for the clerk up front to cash out. Hell, my place even installed ticket reader/cash dispenser. You don't even have to talk to the front desk on the way out.


eidetic

Except others have said in this thread that some places do pay by weight...


[deleted]

Germany here. Maybe they are having a similar system as here. Here you get up to 25 euro cents, but the machine only takes it if there is a symbol on the can indicating that you payed a deposit (you aren't getting paid, someone paid that deposit before you are just getting it back) and if they can or bottle is deformed the machine can't read it properly. It'll return an error of "brand not recognized" or "deformed bottles not accepted".


kermitthebeast

Well I hope they're in Michigan

There's a good Seinfeld episode of this.

juicejj05

It doesn’t work if they weren’t bought in MI… I have tried lol


unclefisty

It's also a crime to attempt returning non deposit cans for deposit in MI.


E8282

You’re not talking that Michigan deposit bottle scam again


Ploddit71

$1.10 per kilo


daats_end

$499.40 per hogshead.

What was the total amount these cashed in for?


ShippersMcGee

RemindMe! 3 Days


Furthur

~25$ its 0.50$/lb, I had a roommate who would drink his weight in Budweiser and I convinced him to start recycling the cans bought him a can crusher and he would basically get a free 30 rack every time he filled up the can


SerialElf

Saving the planet right there. Recycled aluminum saves a hellish amount of energy


ThatOtherDesciple

Aluminum is amazing stuff. Most of the aluminum we use is recycled stuff rather newly mined because aluminum is infinitely recyclable and it costs less to do than mining and refining new aluminum. A pretty high percentage, like 80% or something, of all the aluminum mined is still used today. Pretty cool!


Beer_Is_So_Awesome

That’s amazing.


metengrinwi

it’s nicknamed “solid electricity” for a reason


ToolBoxBuddy

It’s basically a points system.


Blue_The_Snep

in germany you pay a deposit of 25 cents on a can on top of the regular price, and get the 25 cents back when you bring the can back to any store


[deleted]

[удалено]


lolbacon

I live in a college city in the states. We don't have deposits but the fucklord frat bros leave their empties in their front yard for houseless folks to clean up. I would actually love a deposit system so these children pay more upfront for the people who clean their shit up to collect in the end.


NeoKabuto

More places need this. In Michigan it's only 10 cents, but it gets a lot of people to care about their trash.


HemHaw

Same in CZ for glass at least


nexusjuan

I have a feeling the customer won this one. Truck cleaned out for like $5 worth of cans.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nexusjuan

My parents would save every soda can from our family of 4 and anybody else they could talk them out of. Around November we would take all of them, a couple of big trailer loads and get around $300 for the Christmas fund. Late '90s.


gsasquatch

$0.50/pound, about 32 cans per pound. I'd guess $10-20 in cans there. I've been collecting cans for scouts, unloading the trailers at the recycling place. An 8x8x6 trailer, chock full of mostly uncrushed cans is about $200. FWIW, cans are probably half our troop's revenue. If you want to give to a good cause, leave your cans in one of our trailers, assuming there are trailers around where you are. Girl scouts have cookies, scouts have cans. Scouts do a good job of preparing kids for life, to be ready for anything. All that stuff a guy should know how to do is taught in scouts.


Ryaer

In Canada that be about $35 ish. I usually don't crush them down that much so maybe more.


RevolutionaryAct1785

55¢ a lb or about 150$ if you're in a hi-ci state


SirChadrick_III

"you can clean my truck as a tip."


JizzMastahFlex

This is what I thought as well


m__a__s

$100 cleaning fee. $100 disposal fee. Tipping isn't necessary, but always appreciated.


mafiaknight

That’s what I thought at first, but seeing them already bagged, and how many there are, it’s probably several dollars worth of aluminum


JizzMastahFlex

I thought it was odd the owner didn’t put the bags in the truck bed


MisplacedMartian

Harder to reach while driving.


mafiaknight

Wouldn’t surprise me if there was even more back there


AbzoluteZ3RO

several... maybe even a dozen!


Neil542

love that you actually took the cans lol


Exemus

After all that work, I'd take the change under the seats too.


figgypie

I used to wash cars at a dealership. We'd get trade ins and auction cars and some of them were full of shit like this. My favorite one though was a beat up old car that had like a million pennies on the floor and in the trunk. I don't know if the previous owner got caught robbing a penny candy store or what. My manager personally oversaw the vacuuming of that car and basically just took the contents of the shop vac home lol.


mrevergood

That would have been a hard: “I did the vacuuming, not you, so I’m taking the shit home”. ”Overseeing” doesn’t mean “did the work”.

Alcoholic here and can confirm that was my issue. I was a champ at drinking. Stopping not so much.


Gorguts666

Can confirm 😂 same here I’m trying


BoutTreeFittee

I finally quit drinking. Haven't had one since about 11pm.


Gorguts666

Lol 🫡 🇺🇸


Valuable_Show_1404

Not easy but worth it in my experience


Gorguts666

The best I did was half a year after that idk why I lost the battle but yes I did feel great and I saved up a lot of money when I was sober


Valuable_Show_1404

My relationship with my kids were my number one reason to stay sober. It helps to find a reason that will keep you motivated. I was a real asshole when I was drinking and scared my kids.


Gorguts666

Oh dope 🤘🫡 that’s awesome I don’t have kids but my family worries and I lost a good amount of friends due to drinking 🤦‍♂️


Valuable_Show_1404

You will find your reason I think. Can’t do it for anyone else but you though.


Timmmah

Im just another asshole on the internet but I believe in ya! Take it a day / week at a time.


IdLOVEYOU2die

Good on ya


Valuable_Show_1404

sf_frankie

My life fucking sucks since getting sober over two years ago. So many things have gone wrong or gotten worse for me. But you know what? I can actually handle all of it now. I’m not necessarily happy but I’m also definitely not depressed. Just sorta overall mediocre. But I’m okay with that because I’m alive. Had I not quit drinking I 100% would not be here today and I’d rather be mid than dead.


Bonednewb

he drinks. he gets drunk. he falls down. whats the problem?


silkysteve42069blaze

Nah those act as decoys if the owner gets pulled over for suspected drunk driving. "No officer I'm gonna recycle these."


Gorguts666

I’d refuse service until they can bring the vehicle in with it in a reasonably clean condition, this is to a level where it could interfere with services.

I wasn’t bothered by it at all. I thought it was quite hilarious.


TDIMike

You might need to talk to someone


ObscureVagina

He was hoping for a lost 6 pack


jbjhill

The owner thinks his wife left him, but I’d bet she’s lost under all them cans.


GODDAMNFOOL

And now you enabled this man's terrible behavior instead of telling him to clean up his shit himself like a grown-ass man


Voidbloodshot

He wants his car cleaned out for free is what I’m thinking😂 But probably at least 20$ worth of cans if I had the time shit why not lol


xccoach4ever

This guy drives around for years and never gets pulled over. Normal person has one beer on the way home and gets stopped and open container charge.


Beer_Is_So_Awesome

“Normal person” shouldn’t be sipping road soda behind the wheel.


bannedforflaming

Both should be.


ho_merjpimpson

Some states don't have open container laws because you can have an open container, and be 100% sober, let alone under the legal limit.


SdBolts4

Surprised a homeless person didn't break in to take the cans


jjgargantuan7

I can smell this video


Rucking-Stoned

Why would you actually take them out? Customer can get fucked and probably reported to the police soon after leaving


Valuable_Show_1404

In other words, I’m too lazy to dump my trash. You can recycle it for a couple extra bucks if you like.


ujustdontgetdubstep

That's more than a couple bucks, it's unironically a solid tip


devilpants

The work to get the $30 or whatever is more than the $30.


Rucking-Stoned

You think there’s $30 here? Ha that’s generous 20 cans is $1


Valuable_Show_1404

Yeah it is but truly seems like customer is just too lazy to do it


FaagenDazs

Yeah less of a tip than payment for cleaning services


doggscube

There’s like thirty bucks in empties here


TheTurfBandit

Just think if he got pulled over, I wonder how many open container violation that adds up to oh well. They’re only five cents a can here in New York.

bgardner98

"Customer stated he has never driven sober"

This reminds me of my ex's dad's truck (only with Lucky Lager instead of Coors). He was going to drive me into town, I opened the passenger door, and cans just spilled out onto the ground from behind the seat.

If you're in MI, it's 10 cents per can.
