When we take our cans in to get recycled they will not take crushed cans. Yuo also have to be fingerprinted in case they were reported stolen I guess.

  Arkansas. If you bring in any metal you have to be fingerprinted. It is the law. I heard it was because of the copper piping thefts.

At least here I don't see how they would end up not getting crushed during transport, especially those wimpy bottles.
