That is interesting for sure ..... Up here in Alberta, any 'drink' container (plastic water bottles, pop or beer cans, paper or plastic milk containers, etc) under a litre gets you ten cents at the 'bottle depot' where you can return them. Anything one litre or more gets you 25 cents believe it or not.
So for Hobo's pop cans, he gets $0.55 USD per pound for the aluminum scrap value. I did some web surfing. It takes about 30-35 regular (12 oz or 355 ml) pop or beer cams to make a pound of scrap aluminum so let's say he's getting $0.55 USD for 33 cans. That comes to about $0.017 USD per can, just less than two cents per can. Or appx $0.02 per can CDN considering the exchange.
One of the great things about living in Canada, you can become rich by collecting beer cans .... LOL !!! Hobo, fill up your truck and c'mon up, you'll be a rich man in no time.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
