Granting opportunities to purchase recycling bins for my local YMCA?

Question

My local YMCA has vending machines which sell bottled water, and people bring bottled water from home, but there are no recycling bins available at the facility. So these bottles all end up in the garbage. I would like to write a grant to some agency which would pay for the cost of the bins (around $250) and some liners. I am willing to work with local girl scout troops to take the bottles to the recycle center weekly. Any ideas?

Answer 1

wouldn't a large trash bin with a round hole cut in the lid and a sign "plastic bottles only" work? I think you can get these for under $30 at a hardware store.
