It took 38 minutes for 6 people to pack Ted and Joan Stout’s very long stock trailer with aluminum cans. The cans tat are dropped off at the crib come from local businesses and individual families. Several times a year the cans are loaded into Stout’s trailer, and marketed to an aluminum buyer. Funds are allocated to community help organizations such as Pipestone Area 
Softball and Baseball Association and Pipestone Area Community Foundation. Helping load cans from the Pipestone Area Community Foundation were Kevin Paulsen, Chuck Sendelbach, Ed Hansen, and Mick Myers. The funds will be used for community projects and grants. The can crib is located just off 2nd Ave NE in the City Truck Parking lot.
