It is much easier to produce, say, aluminum cans from recycled cans. Making the cans from raw bauxite (aluminum ore) takes 21 times the energy. Glass and plastic are much the same.
The price you get per pound of aluminum cans can fluctuate. Currently it is approximately $.30 to $.40 per pound.
Flattening an aluminum can makes no difference to its weight. However, a bag full of flattened aluminum cans will weigh much more than a bag full of unflattened aluminum cans, simply because you can fit many more cans in the bag.
