Back in the day, places where you could paid for cans were everywhere, but now in my city, the only place I know of is to go all the way to the actual recycling facility in the industrial part of town near oil refineries and such. Ergo, cans now litter the landscape along with other trash because people don't collect them for cash. :( The metal is still worth money, but people down on their luck no longer get any unless they have a truck and collect loads to drive down to recycle. I'm glad people can still get paid for it where you are!
