That is absolutely fantastic:). My fiancee (we might while he was in the Navy) currently wants a flat screen tv...and we are trying to think of creative ways to offset the cost. He loves coca-cola, and he actually offered to stop drinking it until the cost is paid for! That would take years I told him...Also, this photo of the truck filled with metal was taken in PA where I am originally from (I am living in Houston now). Keep reading, and thanks for the comment!

I'm an Army wife - we have literally lived all over the world - and in every stateside location we have recycled aluminum cans for cash. We've done everything from feeding them into an automated can crusher that spit out change in return, to phoning around San Antonio scrap dealers to determine the best current price! Here in Texas we augment our household cans with many more found on walks. Hubby figures 30 cans to the pound, so he can tell me about how many pounds he picks up on a 3-5 mile walk - often he finds two pounds or more! Right now we are saving our can money for a flat-screen TV. Our friends and family think that we are a little WACK! I get a kick out of seeing the pickups piled high with metal objects cruising the neighborhood during bulk trash collection. Texas is the only place I've ever seen so much of that!
