Recycling Trip #2 and Winner

Check out THIS post for the first trip we took on 1/12. 

After we unloaded and had recycled all of the cans we had our house, we headed to the C4C trailer at the church. Kates and I had visited this trailer earlier this week {see THIS post}...so I knew it was going to be packed!!! 

Due to time and being rushed (we only had 60 minutes to unload the trailer, rebag the cans, and drive down to the center before they closed for the day), I didn't get any pictures of the trailer BEFORE. Here is what it looked like after we had emptied it-- LOOOOOVE when we get this many cans:)
The "spider web" is new to us, so we had to lay out the web to figure out how to untangle and reattach it to the back of the truck. When we unloaded the first time today, we bunched it up and threw it in the back of the truck. Not a good idea!! Note to self: don't do that again! 
GOOD NEWS: we made it back to the Recycling Center before they closed!! We had 15 minutes to spare:) 
I know this looks like 59-- but I promise you that's 99! 


Total pounds of aluminum cans recycled on Trip #2: 99


Total pounds recycled for C4C as of 1/12: 2,904 pounds!!!!! 

Total pounds of aluminum cans recycled today 1/12: 117 +99 = 213. So who won the Guessing Game? Here's the list of guesses again....


Poppie: 213
Kates: 200
Tami: 207
Me: 225 (but I wanted to say 190)
Trav: 170

Congrats Poppie-- this was the FIRST time someone had guessed the weight exactly!!! 


Now the C4C trailer is empty and ready for more donations and can collections:) Keep turning in your cans! And keep sending in your random metals too!!!
