why oldpeople must collect drink cans?
-
the cardboard n cans $$ very little 1... 1kg 50cent
60 cans = 1kg
my mum oso got collect ... extra income

It used to be 60 cans for $1 few years back... Right now, the market hovers at $1.5 - $2 for each KG... With rising cost of Aluminum as raw material, companies are using thinner cans and now it takes about 80 cans to get 1 KG, working out to be 2cts on averages..Originally posted by Seven_Dragon:Heard from my neighbour, one can ten cents
so ten cans one buck...
maybe next time when we old, we also need to collect cans to sell
poor thing
-
actually, your prices is wrong.. Cardboard is at $0.25 on avg and cans is $1.50 on avg.. unless you're comparing scrap metal with cardboard with both ranging from $0.15 to $0.25 /kg...Originally posted by 1337:the cardboard n cans $$ very little 1... 1kg 50cent

The old people can get really aggressive when collecting cans. Like around my area, the old people collect those cans around 6am, stomping the cans to crush and flatten them. They have no idea that they are waking people up. But the good thing, there's free alarm la.

sorry, by then you will need a queue number.Originally posted by Friedice:so next time wnen i old i collect cans? -

It's pretty ironic to see old people rummaging rubbish bins and collecting drink cans only as a recent phenomenon. I didn't recall so many old folks constantly peering into the rubbish bins in the 90s. How our country has advanced. :S

no money can sell one can for 2cents worth
-
maybe next time when we old and collect cans, the cost will be one cent for ten cans

Aluminum cans can fetch $1.50 per Kg, if you sell directly to lorries collecting aluminum cans.
Suggest your mom look for another person to sell to, she's been short changed. -
i wonder how many kgs an individual can collect in a day.

the government should implement strategies like proper welfare for the poor and elderly.Originally posted by photo_seeker:Reason for your stand?
