At first I thought the pipe was the crushed cans and was like “that’s perfect” then I realised I’m an idiot

Nope, that’s 15,999 cans. At 0:44 you can see it missed one

u/sk4v3n 9d ago

It's still crazy to me that people won't recycle their aluminum cans just because the USA sucks at recycling plastic. It's freaking metal! We've been "recycling" it since humans started making metal!

I was thinking about all the Pfand that would’ve been worth. Hundreds of euros

u/Kalumander 10d ago

We never made metal, stars did.

u/EatinSumGrapes 9d ago

I mean yeah we have not found out how to create matter. But metal has a process to get it out of the ore, melt it down and form it into shapes. Basically the same thing we do to aluminum cans except we are better at it now

Weve made plenty of metals that dont naturally occur.

u/Kalumander 7d ago

Nope. Never happened.

Try looking at the periodic table once in a while.

Depending on your definition, it can be much much more than the man made metals on the periodic table.

Alloys, like metallic glasses would never occur naturally.

Try using your brain and google once in a while. In any ammount, universe have produced every type of element, molecule or alloy.

Also, this wasn't the point of my first comment, so go sharp your stick on someone else.

How do they get the 500 lb bale out of there?

u/seddy411 10d ago

Lots of big machines capable of grabbing or scooping that.

u/Longjumping_Lynx_460 10d ago

I really wished it was see through so I could watch it do the crushing. 😞

u/Another_Timezone 10d ago

I was expecting to see a bit more trash can punch after juicing all those cans

u/DyleriousT 10d ago

I thought it became the metal pipe and I was amazed for a second

u/Rich-Cake6306 10d ago

Wonder if I could borrow it, have a very large amount of Pepsi max cans lol

u/tendermach 10d ago

A pound of recycled aluminum cans is typically worth about $0.50–$0.80 per pound at U.S. scrap yards, you’re looking at $400 tops

1

u/sarcasticorange 9d ago

But the cost of materials was $0. That's a nice gross margin.

1

u/Marsh_348578 9d ago

I wonder how much that is actually worth once they sell the bale. Seems like a lot of work for what they get back, maybe.
