Question:

What to do with aluminum?

I have been thinking and what are some ways to make money with aluminum cans... Please 2 or more ways per answer

Answer:

* The first step to making money collecting aluminum cans is to find a market for your cans. This can be done by contacting local recyclers and scrap metal dealers. Look in the yellow pages under recyclers, or scrap metal dealers to find contacts. Call each one and see if they purchase aluminum cans from the public. If they do find out their prices as well as their requirements for accepting them. Use this info to find the one that would be best for you. * The next step is to find a place you can store them. The garage or shed would probably be the best place as aluminum cans can attract pests such as ants, wasps, and rodents. They can also have plenty of germs and viruses that you can get sick from. You probably do not want this in your living area. You will also need containers to store your cans in. I just use a garbage can for mine but there are other options as well. If you use a small container like a garbage can you may also want garbage bags for easy removal of cans when full. Then you just tie it up and take it down to your buyer. * The last step is to sell your cans! This is the best part for most of us I am sure.If you have a vehicle you can load it up take them to your buyer. If not you can also use a bike with a bike cart. I do this myself and do fine but you must be in good physical shape. You may find bikes Bike Carts in the ads below. As a tip I would periodically check your buyers buy rate as prices fluctuate daily. Try to sell them when prices are the highest to get the most money. Keep in mind this is not a way to get rich but you can make some money. It take hard work an dediation to be succesful. Hope this help.
