Answer for the USA: Yes, you can get 40 cents per pound at a scrap metal yard. That would mean collecting 750 pounds of aluminum to get $300. There are about 30 cans to the pound, so, the can is usually worth more at a recycling center, since 30 cans would be worth only 40 cents as scrap metal, but would be worth $1.50 at a recycling center. If you just recycled the tabs, you would need an enormous number. 1600 tabs weigh about 1 pound, so you would need 1.2 Million Tabs to get 300 Pounds
