Thanks so much, Patrik.  Ryan (w/ dreadlocks) and I want to set up a system to do this consistently building-wide (not as part of the grant proposal, although it's way to show the agency we care).  Non-CRV bottles and cans, and I think cardboard, can also be kept separate and taken over to Gilman St. (depending on volume, but maybe weekly) and cash received.  

Bins for this purpose are free and there are instructional signs and notices available that can be modified as needed and then printed out.  The harder part will be educating people, and keeping them educated, about what to do.  I had a look in the carts the other day and things weren't entirely happy.

Ultimately, if we do this right, we should be able to reduce the number of carts.

Hi all,

I just threw several dozen bottles and cans in the recycling bins. If someone wants to pick them out and cash them in, feel free!

There's a big blue recycling bin in CCL that I originally bought because the Fermentation Station said they wanted more bottles. But inevitably, I'm the one who winds up having to empty and clean that bin every week anyway.

So - IT'S FREE SEASON ON EVERYTHING WITH A CA REFUND VALUE! If the Fermentation station empties the bin in CCL, that's great. If someone else wants to come empty it on a regular basis, that's just fine with me too.

Just don't leave a mess for us to deal with afterwards. Please put all non-refund recyclables in the small recycling bins, and all non-recyclables in the black trash bin.

Thanks!

Patrik
