Here in CT we have deposits on cans and bottles. 5 cents a pop. So there are many guys with carts and bicycles who collect em as their primary source of income. The cans have to be uncrushed to get the nickel. (They are worth a dime crushed!?) But watching an older gentleman struggle with 4 garbage bags full on a bike, I designed a hauler. Just a high rack with laundry net bags the size of a garbage bag. Like a book rack but higher.
When the "bottle bill" passed here, I thought of going to large industrial places and hospitals or any where with vending machines in volume and getting permission/paying to put green garbage cans in. I would collect as needed. But folks in much greater need of income supplied their services. Be kinda cool though. If you could crush them and make more money, cool! At a dime a pop, (no pun intended) You could make 80/100 bucks a day purty easy. On a MB. Be a cool way to live but I am a vagrant at heart. Even just lining up one big place and collecting every other day....
The maint. guys would love ya. Less garbage. Admin would love ya. Less cost. Win, win,win sort of thing.
Yrs back, knew a man who put his kid threw college with cans by meeting a ferry I worked on. He took the garbage off and went threw it. Was great. We didn't have to carry it off and he took the rest to the dumpster.
