Beaver Island Community School issued the following announcement on Dec 22.
Save your Holiday Cheer Returnable Cans!
Thank you for saving your returnables--Islanders donated over 130,000 returnable aluminum cans and plastic beverage bottles in 2021! That's over $13,000 that went to help our athletic program, class field trips, and many extracurricular activities!
Due to space constraints, the Beaver Island Transfer Station is temporarily not collecting returnable cans and plastic bottles for the school fundraiser...but they will be resuming collection in January. In the meantime, please save your returnable aluminum cans and plastic bottles while the Transfer Station staff figures out the best way to collect them. Please empty and rinse your cans and plastic bottles and store them in a cardboard box or paper bags (they can get stinky in plastic bags). We will let you know when the Transfer Station is able to resume collecting them for the school fundraiser.
Please note, due to the processing requirements of our vendors, we are not able to process glass beverage bottles for our fundraiser. As well, returnable aluminum cans are the most efficient for processing and transporting. So, if you "can," purchase your beverages in aluminum cans. Thank You!
