Mik Overachieves......even at recycling.....

Reading an article about the new Corvallis Bottle Drop, and this:
(sounds like a typical college student)

There are two other return options at the BottleDrop: a hand count which is limited to 50 containers per day and self-serve machines similar to those in grocery stores. They max out at 350 containers per day.

Well, unless you are Mikayla Pivec. She busted the bank on both options, but staff didn’t seem to mind given it was opening day and all.

Pivec, a junior-to-be on the Oregon State University women’s basketball team, made three trips into the BottleDrop, emerging from a small red sedan with what seemed to be ever larger bags of bottles and cans.

On trip one she used the self-serve machines. But that just slowed her down. She used the hand count service for her next two batches, and fittingly from the recycling stash of an athlete, the product was heavily weighted toward water bottles and sports drinks.

Pivec lives with four other students and in the past had recycled at Winco, but she chose BottleDrop for Wednesday’s run because of the higher capacity. And the rule in the house is that the person who does the recycling gets to keep the cash, which is available to customers immediately at a pay station in the center.

On this day that amounted to $62.50, although Pivec said she might go easy on her roommates by buying some communal paper plates and paper towels with the cash."

Go Beavers!
