♻️ CANS FOR CRITTERS REMINDER ♻️
Cans for Critters is a recycling program that benefits FUR Animal Rescue, and it is entirely volunteer run. Volunteers take time out of their day to pick up the donated cans and get them recycled, so we really need everyone's help following a couple of very simple rules.
PLEASE, ALUMINUM CANS ONLY.
That means pop cans, beer cans, energy drink cans, etc.
NO tin cans.
NO cat food cans.
NO aluminum foil.
NO other metal.
When anything other than aluminum cans is put in our drop locations, our volunteers have to sort through everything and dispose of what cannot be recycled through our program. What should be a simple "pick up the bags and recycle them" volunteer job becomes much more complicated and time consuming.
We also REALLY need everyone to SECURELY TIE YOUR BAGS. Please double knot them.
When bags aren't tied and cans spill everywhere, someone has to pick up every single one. They smell, they attract bugs, and it creates an unnecessary mess for both our volunteers and the businesses kind enough to allow us to use their property as drop locations.
We would absolutely hate to lose one of our drop locations because these simple instructions aren't being followed.
Every Cans for Critters drop has signs stating:
ALUMINUM CANS ONLY.
SECURELY TIE ALL BAGS.
Please help us keep this program easy for our volunteers and respectful to the businesses that support us. We truly cannot stress these two things enough. Thank you for your continued support and we appreciate your donations!
