How much does the average center pay for cans? Google isnt providing a clear answer, or I'm not trying hard enough.

check how much you pay. On your receipt it will show how much deposit you had to pay.

I think my local centre pays 65c per kg of cans. HOWEVER this is not a recycling plant that I cash them in at, it's a specific designated place set up by a charity so I think they give themselves a cut of what the cans are worth and it's basically you giving them a donation.

When I take my cans in the first weekend of December I'll find out (if they are open )
