I usually just throw mine in the recycling bin and don't bother crushing them up
LOL I remember as a kid my brilliant get rich quick idea was to siphon off the busted up cans from our beer warehouse and crush em up and turn em in for cash.
Was averaging about 250 can/ day in busted non repackaged breakers.
Had a bin out back. Flies everywhere of course, bees making honey in my bin, etc. Summer ends and I go to cash in at the metal works by IRVS BAR ( any MPLS home boys will know this dive).
$42
That was what I got....for 6 months of dumpster diving.
Haven't voluntarily recycled since
