Is there any money to be made in aluminum cans???? At least supplemental income???

I came across a machine called Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) which is a vending machine that gives cash for cans. Once a week the machine is emtpied out cleaned and you bring the cans to a collection center to sell to them for profit.

I am open to any suggestions or ideas on how this could be a made into a good supplimental business to run on the side??

In short....no

If you are in a state that has a deposit on cans such as Michigan and say you give 5 cents for every 10 cent can. But in michigan, every major grocery store has RVMs that'll give you the full 10 cents.

If you are trying to make money purely off of the aluminum, good luck. There is a value to it, but if you're paying people even a penny a can, that'll quickly eat away at your scrap metal value not to mention your start up cost of buying the RVMs.

It won't work because you'll be paid the same amount you're paying out. Stores make money because lots of people don't return cans for redemption.
