How many pounds are on the truck?

How many pounds are on the truck?

Ok this is half of the aluminum cans crushed from the last year at the resort.  We took them up to sell.  Should have done this in August when the price was up today it was 20 cents a lb.  Usually it is in the 30’s or low 40’s.  We decided to leave the 2nd truck load til spring.  So here is the question a 5 dollar coupon is on the line for Hilltop’s bar.  How many lbs are on the truck?  Enter your guesses in the comment section and I will anounce the big winner tomorrow at 9am.  Will Amy our Math Teacher from DC pull off the big win again and have to come a week early to take Linda out to Hilltop with her?

Why do we always pick the coldest day of the year to do the cans?  You know winter is here to stay when Troy’s Carhart’s are out.

The couple that collects the cans has been doing it for over 25 years.  They are some of the hardest working folks I have ever met, rain, shine cold whatever Wisconsin throws at them I have seen them in the Bowling Alley parking lot loading up the truck

Next stop bank to put the money in the old college funds for the boys.  Jake, Ben and Grant say thanks to everyone that helped seperate them.  Next summer when you see them picking up garbage in the gator and later crushing all the cans you will know where they all end up

Get your guesses in how many pounds were on the truck.  I would love to know what other accomdation in the nation features their garbage on their website:)
