A bottle and can drive organized by the Oswego County 4-H Program is being held to support Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County’s 4-H equine education programs.
The bottle and can drive will be held all throughout the months of January and February at various Oswego County redemption centers. On Saturday, February 19, 2022, a “Fill the Horse Trailer” event will run from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Horse trailers will be parked at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County, 3288 Main St., Mexico and at Liberty Stables, 4403 NYS Route 49, Fulton. The proceeds from this bottle and can drive will be used to support the Oswego County 4-H’s equine education programs and events including its horse show, educational programs, and state-level participation.
Redemption centers accepting donations all throughout January and February are Bobbi’s Bottle Return (119 Co. Rte. 30A, Williamstown), Bottle Depot (2327 NYS Rte. 49, West Monroe), Country Can Return (3378 NYS Rte. 69, Colosse), The Can Man – Mexico Redemption Center (3259 Main Street, Mexico) Riverview (16 S.

Individuals who would like to donate bottles and cans can bring them to any of the redemption center locations and state that bottles and cans are for the Oswego County 4-H Equine Program. If it is more convenient, they may visit one of the trailer fill-up locations.
Oswego County Cornell Cooperative Extension would like to thank everyone who donates and participates in this fundraiser.
Oswego County 4-H Program is open to all youth ages 5 to 19 who want to have fun, learn new skills, and explore the world.
