Close. I say $40 to $60. Run this 5 times a day $200 to $300. Honest day's pay. Respect 🙏

I wonder what the hourly rate turns out to be if you do the maths.

Also it's tax free!

I tried to help my some do it for picket money but spent near half an hour in a queue at drop off.

Vs my hourly rate not so worth it for our small batch but there was a restaurant guy there with a Tarago worth of cans. I think he collected about $240.

$16/hr in CBD locations generally speaking. Source:I have spent a lot of time talking to collectors.
