We have a recycling program run by the city. We get a green trash container the same size as the trash bin. We can put in cardboard, aluminum, glass or plastic. No sorting on our end. Somehow they sort it at the collection site.
When we moved into the house the previous owners left a trash compactor in the garage. I had to take it apart and fix it to make it work. We throw all the aluminum cans in it, and crunch it down to a rectangle. I used to take 5 of the rectangles to the recycle place and get about 30 bucks. Last time it was 15 bucks or so. Standing in line next to all the other scrappers I was very out of place. I was almost overdressed in my t-shirt and shorts.
Now I just give the cans to the city. For the cost of the drive to recycle place it is just not worth the effort to clear two bucks.
