Just like the Green Bag program, fundraisers are given unique bag tag QR code stickers to place on their bags, which ensure that the funds from those containers are credited to the nonprofit’s BottleDrop account.īottleDrop has focused heavily on expanding the network in Bend and improving customer access in recent years. The Blue Bag program allows nonprofits to set up fundraising accounts with BottleDrop and distribute Blue Bags to their supporters. Nonprofits and their supporters can also participate, supercharging their bottle and can fundraising drives through the Blue Bag Program. Green Bags are also now available for purchase at the 3 rd Street Albertsons (and at all bag drop locations), and customers can print their bag tag stickers at the store’s BottleDrop kiosk as well. New customers can sign up for a BottleDrop account online, through the mobile app (search for “BottleDrop Account” in the App Store or on Google Play), or through the BottleDrop kiosk located at any bag drop location. “This new BottleDrop Express location helps us deliver on both of those efforts for our customers.”Įxisting BottleDrop account holders can now use this new BottleDrop Express location just like they currently use the bag drop doors at any of the 87 (and growing) BottleDrop network drop locations, like the Bend BottleDrop Redemption Center (755 NE 2 nd St) and the Bend Fred Meyer BottleDrop Express site (61535 S Hwy 97). “At Albertsons, we are committed to convenience for our customers, and we are serious about our sustainability goals,” said Jill McGinnis, director of communications, public affairs, and government relations for Safeway/Albertsons. Through the Green and Blue Bag programs, individuals (via Green Bags) and nonprofits (via Blue Bags) can conveniently redeem containers in bulk, placing metal, plastic, and glass containers all in the same bags and dropping them off at any BottleDrop bag drop location in Oregon, instead of redeeming them one container at a time. “Our network of bag drop locations continues to grow, and we are incredibly excited to partner with Albertsons to make this new convenient location in Bend a reality.” “The Green Bag program is an incredibly popular container redemption option for Oregonians,” said Eric Chambers, external relations director at the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative, which operates the BottleDrop network. (KTVZ) - Bend-area residents now have improved access to a convenient Oregon 10-cent beverage container redemption option, thanks to the arrival of an additional BottleDrop Express Green and Blue Bag drop location at Bend’s Third Street Albertsons, located at 1800 NE 3 rd Street.
