Cans and Bottles Fundraiser
Support UCNS by collecting your cans and bottles! There are two ways to make a cans and bottles donation. You can either drop your your cans and bottles in the blue recycling bin in the carport at UCNS and a UCNS parent will bring them to the Lansing Can and Bottle Redemption Center for you. Or you can bring them to the Lansing Can and Bottle Redemption Center and let the folks who work there know that you would like the donation to go to UCNS! Either way, the money for the cans and bottles will be donated to UCNS!
