Turn Your Bottles and Cans into Community Support!

Your empty bottles and cans can make a big difference right here in Chiloquin!

Chiloquin Visions in Progress (CVIP) is excited to announce that we are now participating in the BottleDrop Give program! This means you can turn your empty beverage containers into donations that help support the programs and activities that bring our community together.

From youth programs like Chiloquin Learning After School (CLAS), the Chiloquin Teen Adventure Camp (CTAC), and the Chiloquin Bike Club to the arts, senior outreach, and community improvement projects, your support helps CVIP continue making a positive difference in Chiloquin.

And the best part? You can help simply by recycling!

Two Easy Ways to Give

1. Pick Up a Blue Bag at CVIP

We now have official BottleDrop Give Blue Bags available at the Chiloquin Community Center!

Simply stop by and pick up a Blue Bag, fill it with eligible Oregon deposit bottles and cans, and return the filled bag to a participating BottleDrop drop-off location.

Each Blue Bag comes with a special tag that identifies CVIP as the nonprofit receiving the donation. When BottleDrop processes your containers, the refund value is credited directly to CVIP.

It's an easy way to support local programs without spending anything extra!

Where to get your Blue Bags:

Chiloquin Visions in Progress
Chiloquin Community Center
140 South 1st Avenue, Chiloquin, Oregon
Phone: (541) 783-7780

2. Donate Through Your Own BottleDrop Account

Already have a personal BottleDrop account? You can support CVIP without picking up a Blue Bag!

BottleDrop allows account holders to donate some or all of their accumulated bottles and can refunds to participating nonprofit organizations.

Simply visit the BottleDrop website, find Chiloquin Visions in Progress in the nonprofit directory, and select the amount you would like to donate.

You can make a one-time donation or continue supporting CVIP whenever you have funds available in your account.

Small Donations Can Make a Big Difference

It might seem like just a few bottles and cans, but those 10-cent deposits can add up quickly!

Whether you collect containers at home, encourage friends and neighbors to participate, or donate from your personal BottleDrop account, every contribution helps support the programs and activities that make Chiloquin a great place to live.

So don't let those bottles and cans go to waste. Turn them into something good for our community!

Stop by the Chiloquin Community Center to pick up your Blue Bag and start collecting today.

Thank you for supporting Chiloquin Visions in Progress and helping us build a stronger, more connected community!
