I do both...some I return to a deposit required state and they don't get crushed. The ones I sell to a scrap metal place, I crush most because it saves on my storage space.

I'm a crusher.

No, because they go in a mixed recycling container

Our city's recycling recently changed to single-stream system, so I will no longer crush aluminum cans. Good information!

I recycle aluminum soda cans at the supermarket which has a can crusher machine . In MA we have a 5 cent deposit on each can, so we get that back when the can is returned. UNcrushed beer cans are brought back to the liquor store for the refund of the deposit
