NOTE: We are now putting cans, bottles, etc. in a DROPPETT trailer behind the Treynor Community Center. DROPPITT will pick up the trailer when it is full and give us a different one. We expect it to take about three months to fill the trailer, so funds may not be available for a few months after sorting. We are grateful that DROPPITT is willing to work with us so we do not have the time and expense of hauling the redeemables.
Each organization will receive revenues for two or four weeks as follows:
