What happens if Aluminum Can prices go too high?

Ok, lets say thisWhat if scrap yards all over town pays you $5 per pound on Aluminum Cans during Recycling pick up day just for 1 daythe town law says taking them from bins is illegal and fines are very low.Is there going cause problems in traffic and lines?Is there going be 100's of people be out in the early morning and breaking in recycle bins taking aluminum cans and/or finding them from streets?Is there going be a law change and say fines be very high or arrested just for that day because of scrap yards pricesIs there going be a total Chaos?What will happened?

Answer:

A similar situation is already happening in many casesAround where I live, there's a problem with people digging into recycling bins and taking the cansSometimes they are neat about it, more often they leave a messThe recycling companies count on the income from the recycling in order to offer curbside pickupThere is also a problem with people stealing aluminum and copper, especially from construction sitesThere won't be total chaos, and we do already have laws in place against stealingWe also have laws in place that require scrapyards to get ID from people who are selling large lots of metal, in case that metal was stolen.
staples are not safe in the microwave.it's metal.
I would not suggest using a staple in the microwaveMy mother in law pops popcorn in a paper lunch bag, but she uses masking tape to close the bag.
1 or 2 staples does not harm a microwave - any more than 2 could harm it.
No, because staples, like you'd use in a stapler, is metalAnything metal, cause sparksSo, no metal in the microwaveHere's a secret, for microwaved popcorn- set the time for what it says on the bag or box, but watch it because it might get done, before 5 minutes are upWhen the popping slows, it's getting doneWhen it stops, stop the microwave, and canel the time on the microwave, becasue the pop corn is doneUnless you want it burnt and black.
