About 34 cans will make a pound of aluminum, depending on the gauge, based on 2004 recycle figures for Used Beverage Cans

There are 16 ounces in a pound. If you have an aluminum (or any material, really) can that weighs 12oz, then you don't have room for another whole one. Is this a trick question?

In several years of recycling aluminum cans, it takes about 32.47 cans to equal one pound. (I divide the number of cans I take in, by the number of pounds the RECYCLE CENTER says they weigh.) Their scales only weigh in tenths of a pound, and we are at the mercy of just how honest the recycler is being with the public----, but, on average over the last 14 years or so, that is what it works out.
