Funny thing here some yards pay more for uncrushed ones... I think those ones end up in Cali

That's too bad and likely only because some people have put weights into crushed cans to get more money. Fortunately, I mostly find those who prefer crushed cans, which is better for me too as I can get more stuff into my car.

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

Price has got to be hanging around 70 cents a lb. Sill only 2 cents a can. I always wonder what the big energy drink cans go for in comparison because cans like that might seem worth adding up. Also reflect that they like he cans uncrushed due to cheating, even bits of sand and dirt add up, they don't want that.
