There's a specific recycling place I take my crushed cans. I have a can crusher on my pantry door and I put the cans in the boxes they originally came in before I drank them. When the boxes are full I store them underneath my computer desk, there's plenty of room there because it's a corner desk.
When I fill up the space with boxes of crushed cans, I put them in the boot of my car and make the trip to the recycling place about 10 minutes away. At first I thought they didn't take crushed cans but someone at work told me they did. So I go there and two or three people there count my cans. The place always smells strongly of beer. Each can is worth 10 cents and I take a lot of cans there so usually I make over $70.
I also take a large white bag (the recycling centre sold me 3 bags for $5) of plastic bottles and one bag of glass bottles. They take up a bit of room.
I always get the money in cash and sometimes that's handy.
