  Last year's price was around $1.20 to $1.50 per kg, depending who you are selling the cans to.
  
  You considering this profession?

  About 60 cans = 1 kg
  1 kg about $1.80 and going up.
  
  I used to collect some cans, (those that come my way) for an very old woman at Blk 511 Bedok North Ave 2.
  She has passes away and I stopped collecting.
