No... The weight is constant, unless you cut off a piece or added something to the can...

How does the density of a crushed metal can compare to the density of the metal can before it was crushed?

The crushed can will have a density that is quite a bit higher than the density of the can before it was crushed. Imagine a box of empty aluminum beverage cans. It won't weigh much. If those same cans are crushed, they will weigh the same, but take up a lot less space. The density of the cans can be increased by crushing them. The cans might be said to have a low bulk density before being crushed.


What weighs more a bag full of uncrushed cans or bag full of crushed cans?

If both bags are the same size, there would be more cans in the crushed can bag and it would weigh 3 or 4 times more than the bag without any crushed cans. If there are the same number of cans in each bag, as long as the cans were not closed, they would weight the same. If the cans were sealed, the air inside would add to the weight of the bag. as the uncrushed cans would leave a lot of air in the bag that would be lighter so a bag of crushed would weigh more as there would be more cans in there

They use a bar code reader to make sure that the cans are coming from the same province. The deposit is different in different provinces so they check to make sure someone is not bringing in cans from a cheaper province to try and get a higher amount.
