In certain states you can return your empty soda cans to sort-of redeem them for a few cents of money or store credit. I was wondering if I had a soda can crusher and I used it, could I still put them through that return machine easily?
Yes you can but not from those recycling cans/glasses auto recycling machine which the machines need to read the bar codes to give you cash back. But those crushed cans will be honored through those recycled facilities which will weigh the crushed cans in bulk and pay you according to those crushed aluminum cans by the weight *
No Even a casual crush makes a can unreadable to the automatic machines used in Michigan. Crushing them means you won't get your dime. Even peeling the labels off the bottles means you won't get paid there.
