In Maine, they give you a nickle back for each one. (They charge you the nickle when you buy the beer, and other beverage containers.)
The most cans I've ever turned in where like three truck loads and came to just under $300 (as memory serves).
I usually give my cans to my son and co, just so they take care of them. I've got better things to do with my time.
They don't do that here. I just throw them in the recycle bin and they get picked up along with the trash.
Some people collect them and scrap them for the weight of the aluminum but I don't bother with that
It's pretty effective at keeping cans off the side of the road. So, I don't mind. It does mean a 30 pack is gonna be an extra $1.50, I suppose.
I take a walk along the road once a month or so and pick up the cans
