Aluminum Scrap Metal will usually be priced somewhere between 20 cents per pound to 70 cents per pound. (As of 2016, the national average for recycled aluminum cans was about 50 cents per pound.) Lower grades of aluminum or dirty aluminum (aluminum mixed with other materials or having insulation) will command a lower value then clean heavy aluminum scrap. for example - see some example aluminum scrap prices below for mid June 2011, the price per pound. Old Sheet Aluminum $ 0.63 Extruded Aluminum $ 0.90 Irony Aluminum $ 0.18 --- *There is a fixed "deposit" price for beverage cans in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Vermont.

This is an experiment you may conduct for yourself. Just get a few dozen cans, and weigh them. Hint, 40 should be enough.
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours, or half a gallon of gas. It takes 95% less energy to recycle it than it does to make from raw materials, and can run a computer for 5 hours and also a hoover for 6 hours! See the video in the related link below.

About one litre will do them.
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
