The ReCollective is taking 4 and 6-pack can holders as a bonus material in July. Place them in your own bag inside the black waterproof bag, not the canvas ReCo Pick bag.
What is included? 4 and 6-pack can holders and carriers with closed tops, as shown in the image above. We do not accept those with open tops.
Where is it going? Homebucha in Durham will rescue these holders to distribute their kombucha.
REMINDER: Share Your ReCo Bag Capacity! You can share your ReCo bags with friends, family, and neighbors. They can put materials like plastic film, textiles, Styrofoam, and ReCo Picks in your bags. However, please do not include batteries or lightbulbs, as these are harder for us to handle. Help your friends ReCollect items like books and can holders too!
