DES MOINES – Senator Jason Schultz, R-Schleswig, has organized a local tour on July 30 to help residents learn about one of the options for bottle redemption in Iowa.

In a statement, Schultz said “Over the last few years, one of the topics I receive the most communication on from my constituents is bottle redemption centers and the various ‘Bottle Bills’ the legislature has discussed. Droppett is one of the options that has been explored during these discussions. Droppett allows residents to drop off beverage containers in a bag at a local collection site and receive credit in an online account.

“When the creators of Droppett called and asked if I’d like to see it, I thought it was a great opportunity for constituents to see it with me. These events provide western Iowans in and around these communities with an opportunity to see this option for themselves. This tour has been organized to help educate residents on one of the bottle redemption options for our area and allow them the opportunity to learn more about it and ask questions.”

His July 30th schedule is as follows:

10 a.m. Harlan – Shelby County Chamber of Commerce and Industry
12 p.m. Denison – Crossroads mall at the intersection of U.S. 59 and state highway 39
2 p.m. Ida Grove – Shopko parking lot
