crush and collect them then take them to the center.

they don't take crushed cans.... thats the f-ed up part... so you gotta lug a gigantic rubbish bag full of uncrushed cans to the center.

Explaination on why they refuse to take the crushed cans?

Thats a bit much. Bottle deposit is 5 cents over here.

Here in Oregon we get the hole 5 cents back. They cant be crushed here cause the machines at the grocery store reads the bar code.

 

In Michigan it's $0.10 per can. You should collect all your cans and ship them to MI.

That reminds me of an old Seinfield episode when Kramer and Newman take a mail truck full of cans to Michigan :laugh:
