BottleDrop for P.E.

One of the easiest ways to support the Abernethy Physical Education program (and the environment) is by recycling redeemable cans and bottles through the BottleDrop program.

The PTA delivers blue BottleDrop redemption bags to your home! Simply submit a request on Konstella or email our BottleDrop coordinator with your address and the number of bags you'd like.

Fill the blue bag with your redeemable bottles and cans, and bring it to any BottleDrop site. Scan the sticker to unlock the door, drop in your bag, and you're done!

As of March 2023, we have raised more than $3,300 through the BottleDrop program. Thank you, Abernethy Community!

Where are the nearest BottleDrop sites?

There are now several locations in our area:

• New Seasons 7 Corners

• Safeway Hawthorne - the BottleDrop door is just inside the parking garage entrance on SE 27th Ave.

• Fred Meyer Hawthorne - the standalone redemption center in the parking lot includes two BottleDrop doors.

• New Seasons Hawthorne

• Whole Foods Laurelhurst

• QFC Burnside

Other locations may be found on the BottleDrop website.

Do I need to wait in line?

Dropping off at Safeway Hawthorne generally requires no wait - it's often possible to park one's car right next to the door.

At times, our community has encountered long lines and/or an overfull bag receptacle at Fred Meyer Hawthorne. 

How big are the bags?

Each bag fits in an 8-to-10 gallon wastebasket and typically holds 60-90 cans or bottles, depending upon their size.

What's the cost of the program?

Each bag costs the PTA $0.60 ($0.20 to purchase, $0.40 to process each redemption), so a bag with 80 cans/bottles ($8) will net Abernethy $7.40.
