This Saturday,  support a great cause while getting rid of all those refundable bottles and cans cluttering up your garage!

Every year, the Milton Community Youth Coalition sponsors a week-long volunteering program for Milton High School students called Alternative Spring Break (ASB). ASB is a focused community service project that builds leadership skills as well as providing the ability to learn new skills and build new friendships. About 35 students apply annually, with just 12 selected for each trip.

This year, Milton ASB students will help rebuild Joplin, Missouri, which was devastated by EF-5 tornadoes in May 2011.

ASB participants conduct fundraising activities to cover the expenses for the trip, and CSWD is happy to host bottle drives at the Milton Drop-Off Center on Saturday, February 25, and Saturday, March 10 to help fund this worthy cause. Both drives will take place during regular DOC hours:  8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

If you represent a not-for-profit organization that would benefit from a Drop-Off Center bottle drive, please contact Amy McVey at 802-872-8100 x220, or send her an email via our Contact Form. Just choose the “Request a bottle drive” option from the drop-down list.
