Happy and Healthy Pets From Your Recycled Trash

Boots is an affectionate feline waiting for a new home.  Boots was helped by your recycled trash.

Your donations to the Heaven Can Wait Recycle Program in 2011 was more than double the total for the year 2010!

This tiny program started by Judy, our Clinic Coordinator, to earn extra money for odds and ends needed to help the cat and dog patients at the HCWS Spay and Neuter Clinic has blossomed into a full-blown fundraiser, thanks to your support.

Here is how the program has grown through your donations of plastic bottles and aluminum cans!

Sadie is a real cuddler who needs a home with a comfy sofa. Spay and neuter costs for dogs like Sadie were helped through your recycled items.

If you are interested in dropping off your recycled materials to help save the lives of countless animals, there are 2 simple steps:

1. Save your recycled materials

2. Take them to the HCWS clinic: 546 N. Eastern Ave. #175 from 10a.m.-4p.m. Mon-Thurs.

Here are a few things to remember about your recycled material:

• Beer and soda cans must be separated from pet food cans

• Cloudy plastic bottles – such as milk jugs – cannot be accepted

• Steel pet food cans – such as Alpo dog food – cannot be accepted

• Laundry detergent, salad dressing containers, and plastic food containers are not accepted

• Unfortunately, for now we are not collecting glass bottles – just cans and plastic, please.

If you have questions about the program, please contact Judy at: Jerickson@hcws.org.   Boots and Sadie are available for adoption each weekend inside the PetSmart off I-215 and S. Rainbow in the Arroyo Crossing Center.
