Bottle Drives??
Does anyone know of any local community groups holding a bottle drive? We have a year's worth of water bottles and pop cans we would like to donate.

If you don't find a drive you can always check with a favorite group that accepts donations, something like The Women's Shelter Thift Store, The Salvation Army, whatever. I'm sure they would be more than happy to pick up that amount of empties.

Our Sea cadet/Navy League cadet organization is always willing to accept donations if you'd like to donate to this cause I can make arrangements to have your bottles picked up
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Two little girls were around collecting bottles today for a school project, something to do with the hospital I think it was.

Hi there.
I know a boy who is collecting bottles to save for a trip to Japan for school.
That is the only way he can go.

Bankhead Elementary School is trying to raise money for a new playground. The PAC has to raise 25, 000 for the school's portion. I'm sure someone from the PAC would come and pick them up even. The school's number is 763-2603. They would be most grateful, if you choose to go that route.
It's a great offer.

Last week my husband took all of our bottles downtown and asked at the gospel mission if anybody wanted them. We got rid of 10 garbage bags full in less than one minute.
