used it to haul like 20lbs of bottles to the recycling yard and made 20 bucks.

the best thing is that i gathered all the bottles from one dorm building here since all the residents are gone. there are 20 buildings.

96 cents a lb for that type of plastic, i also had maybe 2 lbs of aluminum cans at like $1.50 a pound.

the great thing is that i never paid a cent for any of this, it was all just collected from the building, stuff that otherwise would have just been hauled off by the waste company

since then ive already gotten another 6 bags worth of plastic and another 4lbs or so of aluminum for tomorrow, thats just from my building. i have another 3 bags or so of unsorted bottles/cans too. maybe ill have time tomorrow to rummage through all the other buildings

are you serious????

They will pay about 50 cents per pound of aluminum cans here (if you are lucky), and tell you to **** off if you bring them plastic bottles.

I have about 100lbs of crushed aluminum cans, I'll be happy to get 40 to 50 bucks.

Damn.

I could get to Barstow and back on $40 in gas.

If I could round up 100lbs of aluminum cans, that's a good profit for the day......

There's your good deed for the day Spencer

get some 215mm blizzaks all around the car and consider getting a big bag of sand to put near the rear hatch and avoid driving in the snow as much as possible... people drive like a bunch of assbags and drink too much this time of year too.

I replaced the momo steering wheel allen bolts because they were chewed up, and I'm about to sand down the chip touch-up I did last weekend which should be good and solid by now. Then I'm off to buy new cutting compound to finish that job and pick up a projector screen I bought online. It'll be a good sunday. turbos
