The Challenge

Today, I figured out just how many more bottles and cans we need to collect to stay on our target of reaping $1,000 in our bottles & Cans Fund by its second anniversary!

We need to add $155.71 to the fund and we have just 107 days to go. Total bottles and can needed: 3,115! That's collecting 30 per day! What a challenge.

Do you solicit others for their cans or do you simply pick them up when you find em?

I have trouble finding more than 5 per day and that stems from just walking about. Share your secrets please!

At this time, it's mostly our family and a few friends who donate... The kids and I also collect them from the tennis courts after our practice, at their school's yard, or along walks.

I've have a business idea around recycling... and will start it in September when the kids are back in school.

Wow, Andy, way to go. It's hard for me to fathom just what a feat this is, because NJ doesn't do the deposit game, but I wish I lived in a state that does.
