  You might have a good thought there , several years ago I did a warranty job for a air compressor company in an industrial park in Nh. and the building was piled to the ceiling with crushed alum. cans , mostly Ma. and Ct. deposit cans ? I asked one of the guys what they did with them all ? and he replied , He didn't know , they just kept adding to the piles , never shipped any out .

Its the General Supply and Demand. You hoard enough of the same stuff in large quanties, companies begin to look for it when they need it, since people are hoarding it, there is less out there. Sooner or later this demands for a higher price for it. Hence the supply and demand.
