Can and Bottle Collection Now in Full Swing!
October 8, 2009 | Posted in: Class Updates
Last week, we started our second year of collecting redeemable bottles and cans. The proceeds go to Gifts of Love. It’s an exciting time, because the state redemption laws have just expanded to include bottles of water. That means that any water bottle purchased in CT after October 1st is subject to a 5-cent deposit when purchased and a 5-cent refund when recycled at a redemption machine or center. I’m estimating that this will eventually double our normal profit, since we get lots and lots of water bottles already (which, until now, we have put into town recycling). The collection bin is outside the office, and it keeps filling up! So send in your bottles and cans, please! We are in need of rubber (not latex) gloves so the volunteers don’t get messy when sorting the cans (redeemable vs. non-redeemable). If you’re willing to send in a box of gloves, we’d really appreciate it!
