From April 1st-September 30th 2011, we are embarking on a little project for the wedding and want to invite all of you in Portland Area to participate with us.
We have decided to save up our households used glass bottles and aluminum cans. At which time we will sort and redeem them all for cash and apply that money to the cost of the wedding/honeymoon.
What we're asking from you guys is this; Instead of putting your glass/aluminum in the yellow tubs to be taken away by the city, just put them in a bag in the garage, or around the side of the house or wherever. Whenever you are ready to be rid of them, give us a call or email and we will come by with the pick up truck take them away for you! We'll pick them up as often as you'd like, so they don't clutter up your space.
We'll take them in and donate the funds to the wedding/honeymoon fund. When all is said and done, we'll publish on this very blog just how much was raised by our friends and family via our little aluminum/glass drive.
Recycling is always a good cause, but for the next six months it can be a more personal one for us and for you. Participation is strictly voluntary and in no way obligatory. Thanks in advance for helping us out with this and we'll see you guys soon.
FOOTNOTE: Recyclables accepted by the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC) are limited to: (1)Plastic soda & water bottles with the label intact.(2)Glass soda & beer bottles with the label intact. Non-crushed aluminum beverage cans.
The labels and barcodes must be intact for the machines to accept and give credit the container. Wine bottles, glass jars are non-returnable. Sorry.
