-Good news! Scouts are now accepting more types of bottles and cans than ever before!
-In addition to soda/beer/water, Scouts now accept bottles and cans for: sports drinks, energy drinks, tea/coffee drinks, kombucha, hard cider, hard seltzer, carbonated spirit-based drinks!
-No more returning cans and bottles to smelly machines that break or fill up before you’re done returning! No more waiting in line to use a machine. Bring Scouts your redeemables on March 11 and they will do all the work for you – including unloading them from your vehicle!
All proceeds go to Scouts attending high adventure trips this summer to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico and Florida Sea Base!
