Things You'll Need:
- Soda cans (made of aluminum)
- Trash bags
-
Step 1
Instead of throwing your soda cans away, you need to save them. Take the can and pour any excess liquid out.
-
Step 2
You can throw the can away as it is or stomp on it to make it compact so that you can put more cans in the trash bag.
-
Step 3
Now each time you want to save a can, put it in a trash bag. I find that the big 45 gallon trash bags work the best. They are heavy duty and hold a large amount of cans.
-
Step 4
When you are satisfied with the amount you have collected load it up in your car, truck, or trailer and haul it to your local aluminum recycling center ( you can call around in your local phone book to find the best prices). My local recycling center pays about .60 cents a pound. This amount can fluctuate from time to time, so check often.

Step 5
Finally take your cash and spend it wisely!
