Where I'm from in texas, they pay 50 cents a pound, a pound is made up of about 32 to 35, 12 once cans, so basically each can is worth one penny and half .015. So most people don't even bother recycling them,they just throw it away to the garbage

@@lobogris4806 88% of all cans and bottle are recyceld here in sweden so People docent trhow them away.

Maestro muy bueno su invento lo e fabricado pero no me resulta podria por favor mandarme las medidas

You get 25 cents of your own money back as it is a deposit. So in the end you don't make any money you just use more time and effort.

@@adamwilliams5426 yes you are right but alot of people throw them away because they dont think about the money when they trhow 1 bottle away but if them more it makes a good pocketmoney:)

His system is better because he makes money on his cans, you do not. In fact you spend more time and money bringing them back and feeding them in one by one so the company makes the money off your work.

That's wild. But foiled by a scale. But wild.

Not going to get much in one of those cans lol

When recycling began here in NC it was a family thing. My parents & I would walk along the roads & anywhere else to pick up cans. Racing events, sporting events & also local bars. The cans found in the ditches sometimes were filled with mud, dirt or any kind of sediment that found its way into the can. We didn't take the time to wash these cans, we were just doing a service to recycle & get paid for it. I bought my first car with can money & rebuilt the engine. And yes, some people do try to add weight to them by adding sand, dirt or small rocks prior to crushing.

It's because of the plastic liner inside, they need to cut them open and remove that before they can melt down the aluminum. Plastic is just literally in everything now

Germany is great for recycling.

Depends on the market rate per pound

Better to use your weight by stepping on it than to pay for materials for this hahha😅😅

You can make one for both fat and tall cans. But he made it for only tall ones.

Hey….. I used to buy them in the 32 ounce can….. what!!! Shrinkflation has hit beer cans TOO!!!!!

Harbor freight has some similar models.

Основание похоже длиной 40 сантиметров и 50 на 50 миллиметров, в разжатом состоянии должна поместиться длинная банка, короткие банки тоже расплющит. Форма пресса может быть любая, имеет значение только сила сжатия рукой, поэтому детали имеют значительную толщину, пожалуй это самый эффективный и компактный пресс который я видел на ютубе за несколько дней. Детали толщиной 1 сантиметр можно получить если приложить и сварить две полосы по 5 миллиметров толщиной, ручка длиной примерно 1 метр для достаточного усилия

Me too to much trouble to haul them in for practically nothing.

What returns? He can sell directly to metal scrap when he collects enough.

Como saber As medidas desta pessa..bgd..

I have to agree & disagree with what you are saying here. Agree that not EVERYONE "has or knows how to use an arc welder or a metal torch cutter" as you call it. But if you are the type of person that considers themselves a DIY kind of person, then you are more than likely to have the knowledge & tools to perform this particular project. But like you said in your example "but they could if they had the knowledge and tools" and YES THAT IS what makes it DIY! I only commented because I do enjoy doing as much as I can with the tools & knowledge I have, although limited at times. I am self taught in MIG welding cause stick was just too much for me, too many variables & did the same with an oxy acetylene torch! Some tools & or space to house them are just out of my financial reach for the amount of use I'd get from them, it makes better sense to sub out some of the work. For example, I've held positions where I operated very expensive machines such as cnc routers, mills, lathes & a lot more. What I didn't know I learned, then took that knowledge did the design work, then went to a shop that had those machines. Took my drawings at first because I didn't have the software to do the work with, but eventually built up to it. Still do lot of work such as this but let those that DO HAVE the tools & the knowledge do THAT PART of the work. Cheaper for me for sure, cause I never buy or invest in any tool that doesn't pay for itself within a year of owning it. Although I now have the knowledge for the most part I choose NOT TO HAVE ALL the tools, but allow someone else to do that part for me, it just makes good financial sense to me. Also I'm getting a little tired of al the physical work due to my age. And if you don't have the knowledge or the tools to do this particular project there are other means to build this device made of wood if you are more of a wood worker than a metal worker. Cause all this except for the welding can be done with grinders, files & hack saws. Though I wouldn't want to do it like that for sure. But you got to crawl before you can walk so to speak. For THIS project, what gets me is that EVERY video on how to build a can crusher thinks or ALWAYS shows the cans in BRAND NEW PRISTINE condition! When recycling began my pop and I picked up cans EVERYWHERE, ditches, racing events, local bars & at home. These cans were NEVER PRISTINE or in GOOD condition. They were always bent, half crushed you name it, but never in a condition that would allow the to be fed into devices like this. Although this is one of the best I've seen to get the can to it's minimum crushed size. I would like to see one for ALL type conditions a can could possibly be in. Well there's my nickel's worth. Thanks for your comment. I rarely comment on anything but your comment I could relate to. Best of wishes in your future endeavors

@@hudsonkilpatrick1766 God dam boy that's a chunky wall of text. I didn't read it but it's impressive.

What's the other way? Crushing them flat length wise and why? Genuinely interested

That's just crazy! Just like why companies charge a convenience fee for me to pay a bill, that they do not have to process! I am saving them money, but they want to charge me for doing their data entry work. Still cheaper than buying checks, stamps & driving them to the post office.

Not yet. Maybe some day!

I collect these too how can i make money from them?

@@breazychimupi3439 Metal scrap yard will buy probably..

No you don't.. what country?

@@adamwilliams5426 Finland , and I made a mistake , 15 for cans and 20 for plastic bottles .

@@mhh7544 You are just getting your own money back unfortunately. Others will be the ones making money from your time and effort.
