Many canners* get up early in the morning and work much of the day hunting for tossed out cans and bottles which they redeem at recycling centers. While collecting cans is a pastime for some, for others their survival is dependent on this activity.
The Problem
It is very difficult for people to transport their collected cans (mostly very large plastic bags) by using public transportation so most have to carry their large, bulky bags for miles to redeem them. While some attempt to board a public bus with their collected cans, it is an awkward, messy, often embarrassing experience and many are often turned away as the public bus is not designed to accommodate this type of activity. This is where the CANN VANN comes in. This vehicle will be able to pick up individuals and cans to make the process of can redemption easier.
