Shane McConkey Foundation Don’t Drop the Top Community Sorting Event

Join the Shane McConkey Foundation and its Don’t Drop the Top Program for the annual community sort! Last year, 78 adults, students, and community group volunteers joined together. The result? Over 1,700 pounds of plastic caps and lids were saved from the landfill. The caps were recycled into 17 benches that were sold and dispersed throughout the region. In addition to benches, this year, the caps will also be recycled into raised garden beds.

The sorting event will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Truckee Elementary School on Oct. 5 and 6. There are two shifts available each day. Food and beverages will be provided. This is a great way for local high school students to complete hours toward required community service for graduation. RSVP and sign up for your shift today at shanemcconkey.org/programs/dont-drop-the-top.
