SUMMARY:Scrap Metal Drive
DESCRIPTION:The Red Bird Mission Team will collect your scrap metal Saturday\, Aug. 29 at the Brighton Campus. Save your metallic household items for this fundraiser! Common scrap metal items include \n\n\n\n\n\nInsulated Copper Wire\n#2 Copper Tubing\nCopper Scrap\nAluminum\nAluminum Car/Truck Rims\nAluminum/Copper Radiators\n\n\n\n\nAluminum Cans\nAppliances\nBikes\, Toys\nCar Batteries\nCast Aluminum\nCast Iron\, Light Iron\n\n\n\n\nComputers\nElectric Motors\, Scrap Cars\nPlumbing Brass\nStainless Steel (Non-Magnetic)\nLead\nTransformers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee complete list \n\nVolunteer to help \nIf you need items to be picked up\, contact Ginger VanBlaricum\, 810-772-1863. Items must be outside or in an open garage (volunteers can not enter your home\, thank you for your understanding).\n\n\n\nBy contributing your unwanted metallic items in this way\, you are reducing the amount of waste into land fills and contributing to mission work — all money raised from the salvaged metal is for Red Bird Mission projects. Volunteers separate the metal from donated items to increase the salvaged value.\n\n\nFun fact…….when tearing apart a dryer. We get nine feet of small wire\, the cord\, the motor\, a circuit board\, the outside casing\, which gets flattened\, and usually a metal drum.\n\nBy separating all these items\, more money is raised for missions.\nNote: when donating financially to this mission\, please specify “scrap metal drive.” Thank you!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
