I would as it takes up less space. But it sounds like that if your state is included on the top of the can, it must not be crushed.

I'm so sick over pennies....I frequently trade a dime or two for the whole "take-a-penny" container if sufficient coppers exist. That will get you some odd looks. |

Where are you from? If listed on top, I would call the scrap yards to see what you need to do. My state is not on the can. You only get $0.30-$0.60 per pound around here I think. I don't scrap them though.

In CA they must pay a minimum of $1.55 per pound. We pay $1.70 per pound.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| knibloe, that's one of my favorite episodes. Thanks to Kramer throwing the cans (and eventually newman) out to reduce the weight of the mail truck (free transport) while chasing Jerry's stolen car, we'll never know if it would've worked! Classic. |

| Minnesota sucks, we get 30 cents to 60 cents a pound in my parts. But below us Iowa has a deposit, and to the right WI and MI have deposits. Go figure. |

| I crush mine with a brick, just so they take up less space (and because I don't get them in incredible bulk quantities), and then I figure I won't have to make as many trips to the scrapyard--which with gas at $4 and the small amounts I am getting so far makes a difference. Don't know yet if they will offer me more yet because of it. |

| I've been getting 90 cents a pound in Washington county Wisconsin the past week. As for a deposit in WI,I do not know of any. I've heard of having to proove you live in Michigan before any deposit will be refunded on cans. |
