When we were in Nebraska I just put them out for recycling. Here in Iowa we pay $.05 deposit on cans and bottles, so I now have to take them back to the store to get the money back. Last time I went I had a large rubbermaid tub and three target bags full and received over $8.00 back. Then I went and bought more pop!! Sometimes I give the money to the kids. Oh, and once I set the cans out for the boy scouts!
In Nebraska, they only paid 25 cents a pound for aluminum so it wasn't too lucrative.
