Bottle Drop Program
MCMGA is now participating in the Bottle Drop Redemption program. If you already have a personal (green bag) account or are already contributing blue fundraiser bags to another organization, please consider sharing with MCMGA. You can obtain blue fundraiser bags at the Demonstration Garden or by contacting the MCMGA Fundraising Director at fundraising@multnomahmastergardeners.org. After you fill the bags you can drop them off at the Bottle Drop Centers, Fred Meyer or New Seasons.
Bottle Drop Blue Bag Instructions
Fill the blue bag with clean, non-crushed aluminum, glass and plastic bottles which have the OR 10c stamped into the top of the aluminum cans or written somewhere on the label of glass and plastic cans. The contents can be mixed glass, plastic, and aluminum. The bag needs to weigh less than 20lb, so if all the contents are glass you will not be able to fill the bag. (max 30 12oz beer bottles).
Take the bag to the bottle drop-off center, Fred Meyer or New Season's bag drop. Search for a nearby Bottle Dropoff Location.
Scan the QR code on the bag label at the bar code reader underneath the door.
When the green light comes on you can open the door.
Put the bag inside.
If the door does not open you can take the bag inside the bottle drop redemption center and sometimes a person is at the Fred Meyer location who will take the bag.
