How To Participate
- Register a Love the Boot Week cleanup event, and select “yes” when asked whether your group is interested in recycling.
- A representative from Osprey Initiative will contact you with instructions for either pick-up or drop-off, depending on your location.
- Osprey will mail to you blue recycling bags and instructional signage to use at your event.
- At your cleanup, instruct your volunteers to collect only #1 plastic bottles and aluminum cans in the designated recycling bags. Keep these separate from the rest of the litter bags.
- Depending on your location, Osprey will pick up the recycling bags from you, or you will be responsible for dropping them off at your nearest drop-off site.
