Host a Collection Drive
How to Get Started
Identify a Location & a Captain!
-
Decide where you can legally and safely place your Passback Official Collection Bin. The location should be highly visible, easily accessible, and ideally in a high-traffic area (like near fields, gyms, or entrances).
-
Identify at least one person to serve as the Captain (caretaker). This person helps promote the bin, ensures it stays clean and organized, and supports the collection and redistribution process within the community.
