Boy Scouts plan spring bottle drive (with pickup if you can’t make it!)

Boy Scout Troop 107 will hold its spring bottle drive on Saturday, July 10 from 9 a.m. – noon. Bring your deposit bottles and cans to the back of the Grafton Municipal Center, located at 30 Providence Road.

Use the following precautions for everyone’s safety:

· Please rinse out your bottles and cans ahead of time.

· Please pre-sort your containers: soda cans, beer cans, glass, 1-litter plastic, 2-litter plastic, and smaller plastic (“personal size” drinks).

· When you arrive at the back-parking lot, you will be directed where to leave your containers. Once you depart, scouts and parents will then retrieve them for processing.

· If you need assistance getting the containers from your car, signal an adult leader. Someone will collect them while you remain in your car.

· Scouts and parents will be working in family units, in shifts, with masks and gloves, and maintaining physical distancing at all times.

If you can’t make the drop off, the Boy Scouts can pick up at your home (Grafton only). Contact us at Bottledrive@troop107.Grafton-MA.org to schedule this and include your name and address. Place your clean and pre-sorted empties in a highly visible spot by 8 a.m. on July 10 and the boy scouts will do the rest!

Money raised from bottle drives supports the scouts’ campouts, activities, community service projects, and routine expenses. In addition, 10 percent of bottle drive earnings are donated to a local charity.
