our cookies to people who
need symbols of support

telling them that they are
not along and that there is
someone — a whole troop

cares.”

Former Goodwill building
to become bottle drop center
By JADE McDOWELL
Staff Writer
The former Goodwill
building in Hermiston is
being recycled into a center
that collects cans and bot-
tles.
The center, run by the
Oregon Beverage Recy-
cling Cooperative, will of-
fer a clean, indoor, staffed
option for people to redeem
their beverage containers
for deposits.
Cherilyn Bertges, public
relations and outreach man-
ager for OBRC, said people
will be able to feed up to
350 containers per person
per day through “reverse
vending machines” that take
all three types of containers
with an Oregon deposit.
“They’re similar to what
you see at the grocery store,
but newer and much faster,”
she said.
For people who have
fewer than 50 containers, or
have containers that are too
damaged to go through the
machines, staff can count
them by hand.
A third option is to open
a BottleDrop account. Par-
ticipants can purchase Bot-
tleDrop bags for 15 cents
apiece, ill them with cans
and bottles, then drop them
off at the center 24 hours a
day. Staff will sort the con-
tainers for them and add the
money to the person’s Bot-
tleDrop card.
Money on the card can
be redeemed for cash or can
be used to purchase grocer-
ies at participating stores
(including Safeway) that
will honor the voucher at a
20 percent increase.
Bertges said stores that
participate will stop col-
lecting bottles and cans at
their own locations and start
sending customers to the
bottle drop center instead.
People may have an ex-
tra incentive to use the cen-
ter next year, as refunds are
likely to double from a nick-
el to a dime per container.
Oregon’s Bottle Bill, cre-
ated in 1971, was the irst of
its kind in the U.S.
The 2011 Legislature
added a provision to the
Bottle Bill that if the state-
wide return rate is below 80
percent for two consecutive
years, the deposit and re-
fund will double to 10 cents
per container no sooner than
April 1, 2017.
Bertges said the Herm-
iston center is expected to
open on Aug. 26 at 740 W.
Hermiston Ave. and will
hire six to seven employees.
The Oregon Beverage
Recycling Cooperative is
a corporation made up of
beverage distributors, and is
not funded by any taxpayer
money. For more informa-
