You can only turn in 5 green bag per quarter, that means you can only have about 500 can every three months and a family have a lot more than 500 can or bottles in three months it not right that you can’t turn you and in whenever you get the bags full and if you do more than 5 your money locked up

I have enough space 2 store about $2.00 worth of containers @ home. There needs 2 be an Express machine only 4 people with <$7.50 worth in a day. Spending 2.5 or 3 hours of my time (including transportation) to claim $2 is like sweatshop wages. There4, I have stopped redeeming containers entirely.

We need to stay informed about the local news that impacts our lives inBend and CO. Need to stay up to date on sheriff and police issues, parking, housing and what the city councils and county commissions are doing

I imagine your idea of a “great” newspaper, would be Pravda or some MAGA run rag, right? (All the Conservative obfuscation, all of the time!) Why you think the Bulletin is a “Liberal” publication, I just don’t get. Now, “The Source”, THAT’S definitely a Liberal rag. (And they’re very good at it!)
