The internet consensus is that there are appoximately 32-35 aluminum beer cans/lb. Using a conservative 32cans/lb. = 64000cans/ton. My guesstimate is at least 50000 beer cans make up my 16DB. Sure, I could use soda can math, but beer can math is inherently more fun.
Simple. 320,000 cuz up here we have a $0.05 deposit on the empties... 8-)
I certainly did my part. Assuming, of course, they have some sort of landfill magic magnet that pulls aluminum out of the garbage stream from before we started recycling.
Nice campfire round...."99 cans of beer on the wall, 99 cans of beer...."
