Just a tip. In Cali if you get the PennySaver (just comes in the mail) they often have coupons so you can redeem an extra amount of money when you take in cans. I know the same for San Jose and Sacramento - may be across the state.

Anyway, my mom was just telling me she got $65 or so for 4 bags with the coupons.

We don't generate enough cans/bottles to use it but when she told me that we considered storing them even if it takes a while - hehe.
I had no idea just 4 bags could pay off so much!

We recycle too but they charge an arm and a leg for our recycle bins. Might as well offset the cost.

Well I am not sure $15/bag is very normal, but does sound like Northern CA pays the best.

I tend to drink most my soda at work and a co-worker collects soda cans for her son's school to earn money. So I won't deny the school that little extra income - nice someone is getting something out of my soda habit.
