I live around Minneapolis, MN. Is there a place that you can recycle crushed aluminum cans for money around here?
Recycling aluminum benefits the economy, the community and the environment and can make you money. Aluminum can be recycled over and over again. Recycled aluminum will make it back to the product market within 60 days after recycling. Any type of aluminum is recyclable. Schools, organizations and sport teams commonly use this as a method to raise money. There is no out-of-pocket expense. You will simply need to set up a designated area for receiving the aluminum and then transport it to the recycling station OR Put crushed aluminum cans in the recycling bin.They are processed the same way. I used to have a can-crusher, a little hand operated press that flattened cans out for easy keeping and storage. You could get a lot more of them into a box and they still were worth the nickel if you lived in CA or other states that refunded on cans. :)
there are lots of benefits you must google it
Probably there are scrap metal companies in most major cities. It takes a lot of cans to make any money at it though .
Go to the Earth911 website. Enter in your zip code and it will give you a list of recyclers closest to you. Minnesota does not have a can bottle deposit so the money you get will be for the scrap metal.
