    I did some (very) rough calculations on how much money you could have made. If you could have filled an entire box trailer with a cage on it with cans, you would have made around $274. For an awful lot of effort collecting, storing and transporting them.

    (assumptions are that the trailer holds 2 cubic meters, and that the dead space around each can is equal to its volume)

        It's definitely worth returning them. But collecting them on mass is a bit more marginal - it will be worth it for some people, but it's definitely not at the level that anyone should be kicking themselves for not keeping things in the past.

          Even if you did keep them in the past, useless endeavour. Only ones the past month or so onwards would be acceptes anyway
