Nick's precision driving nailed both rails of cans. It was magnificent!
|
|
Fresh ground pepper. Perhaps the metal from these cans would be recycled into someone else's Volkswagen. |
|
It was hot, but we were determined. We needed a whirlwind of tightly choreographed stomping, but we were too proud to consult Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. |
|
With a quantity-obsessed determination, and the inspiring work-ethic of a crew of homeless guys, we were finally able to fill the cart! It took 853 crushed cans to fill the cart. This was a hell of a lot of soda cans. If we had emptied them into a tub, it would have totaled 80 gallons of soda!
It took exactly two hours to crush them all, but we were on cloud nine. We were going to be rich! |
|
I try to do all my recycling at ReCyCo, but our shopping cart was in no shape to make the journey.
|
|
We packed up the cans and the cart, and made our triumphant way to the recycling depot in the supermarket parking lot. |
|
The cans paid off, BIG TIME! Our shopping cart-full of cans held 23.2 pounds of cans (10.5 Kg). In minutes, we had traded it for a brown voucher, redeemable for cash at the nearby Supermarket.
Our total? $28.77! Hooray! It was time to relax in the air conditioning and enjoy the high life. After all that effort, I wasn't really in the mood for soda.
