WHERE: At the home of one of the hosts. If you’d like to host an evening, great! It works best if everyone takes a turn, hosting isn’t required to participate.

We just can’t say it enough! Thank you to John & Katie Harmke. They spent the better part of the day on Tuesday, July 23rd, sorting the cans for recycling and taking them to the center. Here’s a few words from Katie to make this process work better!

"It may not make sense to think about garbage as something that can become contaminated. It's already dirty, right? Well, in fact, when talking about

certain waste streams, such as aluminum beverage cans, which are redeemable for money, CLEAN applies.

Scrap yards can be very particular about the waste streams they accept for redemption. They can turn away waste for many reasons, such as not wanting to expose their employees to unnecessary risks like injuries, pests, and disease which can come from hand sorting contaminated waste.

As a reminder, the aluminum beverage cans the Parish collects for redemption must be clean of contaminants. They should be rinsed (this helps deter pests and rodents). They should be dropped off with no other items of household trash, including and most importantly, no pet food containers. Even rinsed and with labels removed pet food containers are not typically accepted for redemption. Also, please do not include plastic bottles or other metal food containers such as cans, foil roasting or baking pans, or aluminum foil. While recyclable in some municipalities, the above items are not typically sought by scrap yards seeking ferrous or non-ferrous metals for sale in the free market.

Your continued efforts to support our Parish ministries by donating clean aluminum beverage cans is appreciated!"
