no way there are 70,000 cans

for $800. aluminium at say, $1 a lb is 800 lbs, for 70,000 cans. now if you devide 70,000 by 800 (cans/lb) you get 87.5 cans per lb. now i dont know, but that just seems a bit high.

according to this site

"There are about 24 aluminum cans  in a pound."

so let's see how many lb's of cans they got, per that 70,000 cans..

700000/24 is about 2917 lbs of cans, for $800,  that's about (800$/2917Lb) $0.27 per pound of aluminium.

now i dont know the going rate for aluminum in utah, but that seems awefully low, its like $1.30 in california. If anyone lives in utah, post the going rate for aluminium right now...
