desertskyz Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) I'v been calling around to get the best price on recycling cans. Jeeezzzz what a f'n racket. Las Vegas: .60 a lb. ( you have to drive through what would appear to be a Third World country to get there) Bullhead City: .70 a lb. .75 a lb if you have over a 100 lbs. Barstow, CA : $1.77 lb. Guy said it was 2 miles off I-15 behind the liquor store :beerbong: See why I want someone to go with me. :ah: Edited August 27, 2008 by desertskyz Quote

sand chick Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Dang Nick! I hope you own stock in Budlight!! If not, you need to, to get some kind of return on that investment!! Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 it was easier for the local bars to stack the empty bottles back in their cases and for me to take them than it was to haul heavy a$$ trashbags to the dumpsters not to mention all the excess garbage.. I had 3 or 4 bars that did this for me.. any where from 100-300 a week in spending cash depending on the time of year.. Summer was much better than winter LOL Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 as a matter of fact my dad still does them to this day.. takes care of his beer and gambling money when they come out to vegas hehe.. Quote
sand chick Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 WOW!! That's a good way to get gas $$$$ for a dune trip or two!! Quote

How much is it anyway? Quote
beau Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 As long as the cans have the CA CRV stamp on the top then you will get the $1.70 a lb, however if they don't they are worth scrap aluminum value which is roughly $1.00 a lb less. The CRV is nothing more than a way for the government in CA to get people to recycle cause they think they get more money. Not really the case, when in CA every time you buy a drink in a can you actually PAY the "CRV tax" so you basically just get the money you spent back. My family business runs a recycling center and being so close to areas like Tonopah, Hawthorne, and Fishlake Valley we get lots of people with lots of cans that aren't worth sh*t. Quote
desertskyz Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 I wonder if I am wasting my time then. They are crushed already and in bags. Quote
beau Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I wonder if I am wasting my time then. They are crushed already and in bags. Just look at the top of a few cans on either side of the tab and see if it has a CA CRV stamp on them, if so you're golden. Quote
