America Recycles Day (NOVEMBER 15)

Message in a Bottle
Our "away from home" recycling program for bottles and cans. The only program of its kind in Minnesota and currently available in the cities of St. Cloud and Mankato and also available in the counties of McLeod, Carver, Wright, Ramsey and Hennepin. We offer this service free of charge to gas stations, car wash facilities and any other place that Minnesotans visit when they are away from home. It's hard to recycle when you are out and about in Minnesota. Our program makes it easy!

To Purchase Bottle Bins:
We sell the giant pop bottle bins. We ask that you make a minimum order of 10 for shipment reasons. Each bin comes with signage, two types to choose from. We can ship anywhere in the U.S.
Bin cost for members: $90 each
Bin cost for non-members: $110 each
Call RAM to make your order at 651-641-4560
