We're honored that our Can Redemption Trailer can play a small part in supporting the people and organizations that give so much to our community.
♻️ Every can donated stays right here, helping make a difference in the place we call home!
A HUGE thank-you to everyone who continues to fill our trailer and support these local causes. Together, we're proving that something as simple as a can can make a BIG difference!
💙 Proud to be local. Proud to give back. Proud to be Elkader!
♻️ REMINDER:
• Please donate ONLY redeemable b**r and soda cans.
• DO NOT CRUSH CANS — crushed cans are not redeemable.
By keeping non-redeemable items out of the trailer, we can also help our local redemption centers reduce costs and keep more money going back to local nonprofits.
Thank you for continuing to make a difference, one can at a time! ❤️🇺🇸
