It takes 32 12oz soda cans, or 28 beer cans. Beer cans are heavier. (BUT !! Beer cans can be brought back to any liquor store for a refund same as beer bottles... What makes this a much better deal is that if you bring 28 Beer cans to a metal scrap yard, you will get about 1.00$ for ther scrap aluminum, but bringing them back to a Beer store you will get 0.10$ every can, if you add this up it equals 2.80$ therfor you make about 2.8 times more money...)

Empty, 28 cans make up a pound. I have a gram scale and a dried out empty coke can weighs just over 13.8 grams. 1 lbs = approx 454 grams 454 grams / 13.8 = 32.89855..... So if you asked me I'd say the number of typical soda cans in a pound is approx. 33
Approximately 21 cans to one US pound.
2-2/3
300.00 / 0.40 = 750# ◄
It takes 16oz to make a pound, if you have a 24 ounce can then you only need 2/3's of the can to make your pound.
Rounded: 30 cans.
It takes 31.92 empty cans to make a pound. ____________________________________________________________________ I got 29.09 cans per 16 ounces (1 pound) at .55 ounces per can. But, all and all, if you remember 30 empty cans per pound you will be good to go. Around here it's $0.48 per pound of aluminum. Check with your areas recycling center and start making a difference!
This is an experiment you may conduct for yourself. Just get a few dozen cans, and weigh them. Hint, 40 should be enough.

The mass of an average beer can is approximately 0.01 kg (empty). Which is equal to approximately 0.022 lbs. If we take 1 lbs and divide it by 0.022 lbs/can: 1 lb / 0.022 lbs/can = ~45 cans. I've noticed that other answers.com articles estimate the weight at approximately 34 cans per pound.
A ton is 2,000 pounds so divide how much a pop can is by 2000 For example: A pop can weighs 1/2 pound. 2000/.5 is 4,000 pop cans
