When you finish a drink and toss your bottle or can, you may not think about where it goes next. In New York, there's a great chance a canner will collect it along their route, and sort it among hundreds of other bottles and cans, and bring it to a place like Sure We Can.

New York isn't the only place working towards a bottle bill! Legislators and advocates in Washington D.C. are advancing a bill that would include a dime deposit for bottled and canned beverages sold there ♻️⭐️ streetsensemedia.org/article/bott...

This is so critical

With the political and social climate turning against the most vulnerable members of our communities, canners need supportive services and safe spaces more than ever. Please consider making a donation to Sure We Can to support NYC's canners. 💚 🔗 bit.ly/supportswc

Earning a living by canning is arduous work. As a community-sensitive redemption center, we offer support that canners can't get anywhere else. Please help us support this community by making a donation 🔗 bit.ly/supportswc #GivingTuesday Photo by Carlos Rivera

Any lawmakers in Iowa who are against our bottle bill and find it "incredibly problematic"... the Iowa City Litter Crew would like to invite you to come pick up litter with us for a couple of months and tell us whether you feel the same. Bottle bills work. Fix them, don't undermine them.

We're disappointed by the anti-bottle bill comments from Kathryn Garcia, Hochul aid & former DSNY Commissioner. What's incredibly problematic is the fact that the Hochul admin can't recognize the value of NY's most effective recycling system. The bill works, & modernization would be a win for NY!

Last month, a team of our canners, staff, & board travelled to Vancouver to exchange with fellow members of the North American Alliance of Wastepickers (NAWPA): Binner's Project, Groundscore Association, & Coop Les Valoristes. A great week full of sharing ideas & building solidarity!

Stand up for NYC's canners and for Sure We Can by donating to help us raise $30,000 before the end of the year! ⭐ ❤️ bit.ly/supportswc
