Collected funds from raffles will be used toward a recycling start up for Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. Our intention is to start with bins for aluminum cans and specific plastics, such as water bottles and plastic drink bottles. Taking a step to provide a place to recycle rather than continuing to send our resources to the landfill. This start up system is not yet defined. If you have ideas or information to contribute , we welcome them @ the contact information below.
