OLA Summer Recycling Challenge

OLA Student Recycling Picture

OLA School student Nathan Oliver will be collecting cans, bottles, and donations for the purchase of new recycling containers for Affinito Hall this summer.  Save your cans and bottles, and you will have the opportunity to drop them off at OLA after the weekend Masses on the weekend of July 12-13.  No donation is too small.  Every can and bottle makes a difference!  If you want to redeem your cans and bottles on your own, you may donate your proceeds to OLA.  Please indicate "Affinito Hall Recycling Containers" on your donation.  Click HERE to make a donation online towards the Affinito Hall recycling containers via Flocknote Online Giving. Please select the option to add a memo for your donation and type "Affinito Hall Recycling Containers" in the memo field.

Nathan will be taking all donated cans and bottles to the Capital City Recycling Center for redemption, and then he will donate all of the proceeds to OLA for the purchase of the new recycling containers.  According to the Capital City Recycling Center website, “Consumers pay California Redemption Value (CRV) when they purchase beverages from a retailer and receive CRV refunds when they redeem the containers at a recycling center.  Most beverage packaged in aluminum, glass, plastic and bi-metal containers are eligible for CRV.”  If you want more information about redeeming CRV bottles and cans, visit https://capcityrecycling.com/crv-bottles-cans/.

A drop off date will also be scheduled for August. Thank you for your support and keep recycling!
