How to Set-up a Group Fundraising Effort

School, Organizations and your Community are full of aluminum just waiting for an organiztion to recycle it and make money. Recycling is the perfect fund-raiser for your group -- there is no selling, it is easy to set up, and you get cash on the spot! And you can organize a collection drive to meet a short-term goal, or establish a plan to recycle on an ongoing basis.

1. Appoint a person to be incharge of this recycling effort.

2. Set recycling goals. Keep your goal realistic.

3. Make a plan and get it on paper. Just about everyone you know will donate their recyclable goods, if they know it's for a good cause. Flyers, phone calls and door to door notice in your community will also be a big help. Notify the local media as well as neighborhood newsletters.
   
   
4. Can Collection. Establish collection routes and include your group's name and telephone number on each box. Store the aluminum on your grounds in a shed, closet or special bin if you can. Or have volunteers save aluminum at home and then, on a designated day, have a drive.
   
   
5. Keep an eye on your goal and pass it on to your group. Your overall progress keeps everyone excited about your recycling effort.
