The holidays are upon us! That could mean lots of friends and relatives visiting, with a resulting buildup of empty beverage cans and bottles! Did you know that you can donate those cans and bottles to help JCMGA with our fundraising efforts?
When you visit the Extension Center, please pick up one or two blue bags that can be found in the entrance area by the information rack. Fill your blue bag with clean, refundable plastic, aluminum and glass drink cans and bottles. Cleanliness is key.
We ask that you COMPLETELY fill the bag with the maximum number of bottles and cans that can be stuffed in there. To participate in this donation program, JCMGA has bought each blue bag for 40 cents each. We lose 20 cents for each bag that is not returned. That definitely can eat into the profit, so getting the most out of each bag is significant to our efforts.
Important Notes about the Blue Bag Program:
- A bag should hold 50 – 60 containers, depending on their sizes
- Rinse bottles and remove lids
- Bring bags to 1179 Stowe Ave Medford – open 8 am – 7 pm daily
- No need to wait in line!
- Drop door location on side of building
- Scan the bag tag to open the secure door (drop up to 10 bags per visit)
Please take no more than two bags at a time. You can contact Lynn Kunstman if you need a greater number of bags.
Thank you for your support! The impact is so much the greater when we work together.
