I have no idea why, they must have been sorted by can which seems completely pointless when they’re getting recycled lmao

And then what do we do with them?

These will be sold to companies that melt them down and turn it back into aluminium ingots, then those ingots will be sold to industrial companies that can use them in whatever they’re producing

If I was to guess, I’d say there’s at least 200,000 cans in this pile of bales

That's wild, I made a drop off at a place called vaal scrap today and saw something exactly similar. I told my gf I saw minecraft blocks but was sad I didn't take a pic. Tnx dude.

Probably inventory that got scrapped.

My pleasure! I’m glad you can give her a reference to what you saw lol

That’s a strong possibility actually, I didn’t recognise any of the cans there, they’re like off brand colas and stuff. Come to think of it, they actually remind me of the cans of pop that you see on TV shows that don’t have licensing to show real company products

Oh that's good to know. I wonder if they care about the colors.
Clumbum OP t1_jadbne9 wrote
The colors of the cans will go away in the process, im honestly not sure why they’ve been baled by colour, but its interesting to look at lol

I agree, probably just how they went into the compactor. Could be expired products that already were in cases of the same thing.

People would pay for movie prop sodas! You might be onto a biz idea! There should be a film brand that gives free license and product for shows and sells to consumers with proceeds going to the actor’s guild.

Now we need to crush the bales together to create a super can cube

Wild how they are sorted by color! Why?
