FYI, in my state Indiana doesn't allow crush cans. If they see crush cans, they won't give me money :roll:

The machine need to be able to read the barcode. Is that reason?
If not, why don't you ask them for the reason? You got me curious. :)
 
I used to help my grandfather with crushing the cans when I was a kid/teenager. That way he can recycle cans in a bag and get $$$ by the weigh of it.

I do not know if this kind of recycling are still going in New Zealand today.

You are not alone. Happens to me in the past when I was in college. It pissed me off when I worked hard to collect aluminum cans and had several bags of it. They gave me the amt like what you had. I think that I forgot to crush the cans and pack in more in bag to make it heavier so I can make more $$ per weight.

I've heard someone collecting pop tabs (removed tab from pop/beer cans) and said if they collect to fill bag of it. They get $500 for it. I dunno how that work. It doesn't make sense to me cuz tabs are made of aluminum too.
