Popcan drives work well for about $200 in a weekend. Go out and flyer a subdivison with little fliers like on a thursday with info about your team and what the cans are gonna go to, and ask them to leave their cans on their porch or something and that you'll be back on Saturday or something to pick them up. Get them on Saturday (knocking on each door saturday may increase turnout) take them back to a central point to be sorted, then divvy them up and take em out to places to be returned.

Mind you this only works if your state has a deposit on cans (helps to be in Michigan, 10 cents per can), and it's rather labor intensive, expect each person to put in maybe 8-10 hours on the collection day, and make sure not to bungle with any local ordnances.
