January 23 & 24th was the first weekend that Paityn went out and collected cans and bottles to recycle. All the money she received went towards her softball tournament fees. She received so much money that we didn’t have to take anything out of our pockets!!!
Paityn and I went out nightly and dropped off notes on neighbors doorsteps. The notes simply stated that she would be coming around picking up any recyclable cans and bottles. They would just need to be placed in bags and set on their doorsteps, we would drive around and pick them up. Paul and I both thought that we would be lucky to get 1 load worth. After the weekend was complete we ended up with about 8 loads and over $225.00.
There are still fees that we have to come up with, so we decided that the Monday after Super bowl would be a good opportunity to have another “recycling day”. Again Paityn and I went out door-to-door dropping off simple notes. This time they mentioned that we would be coming around on Monday instead of the weekend. People just had to bag up their water bottles, beer bottles, and cans and set them on their doorstep after their parties.
