Why throw these things into the garbage when Score This!!! can recycle them for you?  We figured we are at many events a year and what better way to help the environment and others by collecting all of the following: plastic bottles, old cell phones, boots, shoes, sneakers, gently warn winter clothing, toner and printer cartridges and small electronic devices

spacer Plastic Bottles - We watch thousands of plastic bottle a year at events get thrown in the general garbage and land filled.  We at Score This!!! will have a container, whether it be a truck bed or garbage bag,  at events so we can recycle them for you.
spacer Old Cell Phones - We have teamed up with the American Red Cross of Yates County and started collecting old cell phones in 2008.  Last year we collected 19 phones total at the Keuka Lake Tri and the Clark Companies A Tri in the Buff.  This is a fund raising effort in which the Red Cross receives money from the recycler who in turn retrieves the precious metals as well as the harmful metals.
