Bend BottleDrop location reports record recyclables intake, causing overflow
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Bend BottleDrop is currently getting a higher than average volume of recyclables. In fact, it's a record level.
A long line of people could be seen waiting Tuesday to turn in their bags of recyclables at the Northeast Second Street location.
Eric Chambers, external relations director for the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative, said the redemption center is experiencing record intake volume.
Chambers added that the Fourth of July holiday weekend and the recent heat wave Central Oregon experienced are the two main causes for the above-average volume.
