The slightly amusing conclusion to a short two-part comic from last week. With the current conversion rates for this "Return and Earn" program here in Australia, $5 worth of cans is obtained from fifty recyclable cans, which is just above two of those hefty 24-soft-drink-boxes and in turn costs about $24 in a best case scenario.
So is it profitable? Like all get-rich-quick schemes, those who put in the most time and determination to succeed are rewarded proportionally. I mean, the government isn't that stupid to provide a publicly-available subvert-able money-making initiative for the fun of it. At the same time, why not make a few quick bucks out of that rotting pile of cans called your Recycling Bin? It's not like you're genuinely using them, unless you actually are.
