Event Details
Southbury Food Bank is partnering with Sustainable Southbury for a community bottle and can collection fundraiser on Sunday, June 7, from 12:00–2:00 p.m. at 800 Main Street South, Southbury. Please note: We have a new location in the parking lot behind the 800 building. Enter: driveway on the right side of the 800 building. Exit: at the traffic light.
For 44 years, the Southbury Food Bank has provided food assistance with dignity and respect to eligible local households through its client-choice food assistance program. As a small independent nonprofit, the organization depends on donations, grants, and community support to serve more than 350 individuals each week with nonperishable food, fresh produce, dairy products, eggs, frozen protein, and essential hygiene items. Proceeds from this fundraiser will directly support the Food Bank’s daily assistance programs.
Please note that EyeRecycle requires aluminum cans to be bagged separately from plastic bottles. Plastic bottles must be pre-sorted by size: under 1 liter, 1 liter, and 2 liters. Glass bottles should be packed in cardboard boxes to help prevent breakage. Participants using EyeRecycle bags with pre-sorted recyclables may use the express lane for quick drop-off and payment. Empty inkjet printer cartridges (not laser cartridges) will also be accepted.
If you do not have an EyeRecycle bag, volunteers will assist in transferring recyclables into approved bags for counting. Bags cost 50 cents each and may be purchased at the event, through EyeRecycle, or at Sustainable Southbury events. Please note there is a five-bag limit for this event.
