I've recently started cans recycling i do only 2 hours worth of picking I've asked local takeaways and restaurants for cans too can't wait to get my first pay

[@stache297]

I wish I had the time to collect containers, $500-$750 a week is insane, I could get all my mining tickets with that in a month

[@jamiecapes2644]

You're bloody right, you can't fit many cans in a corvette, you can't get enough in a mondeo.

The uk government would find a way to stop this ,fair play to asutrailia for promoting it

[@jayzmidsouth7131]

How many do you pick up per week?

[@dunnyify]

This guy is sick makes extra cash and his shirt looks good

[@craigmooney3744]

in the 80s there were no bottles anywhere kids would would be picking them up in a nano second.

[@gregelliott5016]

Collecting cans and bottles will keep him out of trouble

[@kevinhiggenbottom8339]

I work full time at Kroger's but I also work part-time collecting can did I rinse them out and then I use my tamper to smash the cans and then when I get enough back saved up I go cash them in hey least it's a little pocket money that I did not have but I do that on the side sometimes it helps take away my stress when I do my can. if I had my own man's man's house with a man's man's garage instead of living in the apartment life I could be bringing all kinds of cans in cuz I know where to look and I know where to walk to find can even in the hard places I need to get me a grabber to get the kids because they're in a hard place to reach and a guy make sure I take a couple more bags with me one bag of cans filled it up to the top it's a Kroger grocery bag
