I'll bet if you do this, and the project doesn't work, the recycling place
won't take them, since they have been cut.

I took some crushed pop cans into a recycling depot in Connecticut about 15
years ago, and tried to get my .05 each back.  The teenage girl working
there refused, since they could no longer fill them back up with soda.

I weep for the state of American education.
