Grandville RoboDawgs collect returnable bottles and cans

RoboDawgs Returnables - large

Grandville Robotics supports more than 100 competitive robotics teams serving K-12 students, including the well-known Grandville High School RoboDawgs.

The RoboDawg program has remained active through the Stay at Home period in Michigan and kept students engaged using virtual meetings, challenges, zoom sessions, and remote 3D printing. Much of the program’s funding is in jeopardy due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Grandville teams are collecting returnable cans and bottles to fund their summer programs, and they are working toward a goal of 100,000 cans and bottles in May.

A huge collection bin has been set up at the Grandville Robotics Center at 4900 Canal in Grandville and area residents are asked to donate their empty returnables to support Grandville robotics teams. While many area charities have stopped accepting more cans and bottles, the RoboDawgs are prepared to bag and store more than 500,000 returnables to help keep their programs running this summer and fall.
