How often do you go to get your nickel back? Every week, twice a month, once a month...? Or do you give it to someone?
I took 584 containers this morning to the center at Windward Mall. Normally if they are pre-counted and pre-sorted and decapped they just take your word for it and send you straight to the cashier. That's how it was the last time I went a few weeks ago. But now, gotta bust the bag and put them in their container so that they can weigh it. Apparently some people were inflating their counts so got to do it this way now to keep everyone on the up and up.
I thought I would get less if it was weighed but I got $32 instead of the expected $29.20... or another look at it is: I was credited for 56 more containers than I actually had. I guess it makes up for all the ones that don't get redeemed but the state charged a nickel for up front.
Anyway my answer to the original question is: once a month for my nieces and nephews.
