I took my crushed aluminum cans to the metal recycle center. I was just thinking I would drop it off (our trash collector doesn’t offer recycling in our area), but they pay for aluminum. So I put my bag on the scale, got a weight of 13 pounds, and took my ticket to get my $4.42. The man behind the counter gave me a lollipop with my cash. I was also referred to as “the young lady” (which I am not). It was definitely an experience.
