But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one

recycling price, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, current investment advice is to
drink heavily and recycle.

The math is way off for us over in the southeast.

Soda cars run about 48 to the pound. Cans at the local recycler are
bring about 60 cents a pound.

Beer - maybe $10.00 case for bud, etc.

That's 100 cases or 50 pounds of cans. Even at $1.00 pound for cans
that's just $50.00.

I don't personally recycle (I don't drink soda and my 2 or 3 beers a
year don't add up to much) which is why I put the statement at the
beginning that I don't know the accuracy of the stats. It seemed
awfully high to me.
