    In my area Nebraska they are going for about .20 lb. I will be keeping mine for a while at that price.
    Last year we were getting about .60 lb for them.

    The price of ALL scape is way down. We're sitting on all of ours also.

    Klean, you'll have to call your recycling center that you take it to, to get a price. I'll probably be different in different parts of the country

    I took about 50 pounds last month and they were only paying .23 a pound. I saw the sign they other day and the price went up to .28 a pound. I won't be taking any in for about 2 months, hopefully it will be up more by then. I'm in NE Ohio.

    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    Yup, we are up to .30lb here. I remember when I first started recycling cans, about 26 years ago, I could take them once a month and get anywere from $100 on up. But my inlaws owned a bar and cans were close to .50lb. I used to pay our electric bill with my can money. Ahhh the good ol' days.
