It can sometimes grow to quite a large fund for people.
Damian Gordon saved $46,000. He described it as a hobby for him. What a legend!

They do deposit returns where I live. So you get them cents back for every can. There are people that make a couple of hundred bucks a month picking cans out of the ditches. There’s like what? $50 in this picture? Either way he could have those gone in an hour for free if he knows a homeless person.

I used to collect cans over the summer with the high school soccer teams to raise money. There’s more than fitty there

They do not do deposit returns here anymore, but even so, most neighborhoods I’ve lived, people come look through the recycling for aluminum cans to scrap. So I would set them on the side in a tote instead, it was always such old people, moving slowly down the road with a rolling cart. This neighborhood is apparently too bougie for that, even though as far as I can tell we still are never more than 2 blocks from at least one homeless person.
