Message in a Bottle
NEW! Our new "away from home" recycling program for plastic bottles, glass and cans. The only program of its kind in Minnesota and currently available only in McLeod, Carver, Wright and western parts of Hennepin county. 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!

Here are a few photos from Message in a Bottle:
