1m cans = 29231 lbs

current sale price is 87cents which scrap dealers typically give half 43.5cents
comes to $12,715

I traded in some massive aluminum slabs a couple years back before the prices crashed
and I got 69 cents per pound of aluminum. Something happened later 2008 and the metal market stopped...

Oh thats nice! Yeah I looked up prices & saw they crashed then.

Yay $\:D/$

I don't have a place right now to store them. Just keeping them in bags behind our barn. Thats GREAT that your friend will be able to Ship them here for FREE :^_^:

Hopefully I'll be able to get more people involved & places that keep the cans & your friend's company can go to those places & pick up the cans & ship them here :^_^:

He works for an electronics distributor, so yeah its a huge warehouse with a shipping department obviously. I didn't quite understand what you meant, but obviously he is just a shipping guy, so im not sure what his limits are as an employee and using shipping for his/our own use. Im sure once a month and under 10Lbs is plausable. But going around and picking up, i guess i CAN do at my expense. Which im sure is only like 8 to 10 bucks to ship.

Burks · **Posted:** November 8th, 2010, 9:13 am

How much are they giving you per pound? It's $0.55/lb here......so by that price the jug would weigh 136lbs....

Simons Pure · **Posted:** November 8th, 2010, 11:19 am

Which is just about the weight of me. So goodluck collecting all of that on your own anyway.
