What was the largest number of cans, bottles that you took back to the store for recycle and depost return

[yasha]

I had about 30 dollars worth one time.

A lot...few trash cans full...

Do you really need to know this info?

 

[RossMAN]

$30? At 5 cents per can that's 600 cans, woah.

 

[yasha]

RossMAN> They're 10 cents here

 

[Windogg]

About 500,000.

My family is in wholesale beverage distribution. We get 6.4 - 6.9 cents per container.

 

[Choralone]

$12 worth. Most places in my area won't let you take in more than that at one time. So you just come back later. I know, I take in all the empty pop cans from where I work. I usually get two or three medium size garbage bags full of cans per week.

ROTFLMAO!! That Seinfeld espisode was on the other day!!!! The one where Kramer and Newman scheme up the plan to rent a UHaul truck and take the cans cross country to a state that gives you back 10 cents instead of the 5 cents in NY. They were working out gas mileage and rental fees to see if it was feasible to take them cross country or cash them in in New York. They ended up robbing bag ladies and stealing cans from restaurants. In the end, I believe they loaded them up in a mail truck b/c Newman got assigned to some special route b/c of excess mail delivery before Mother's Day. I forgot what happened after than 'cause I fell asleep
