Scott Schrader and Alvi Castro-Co-Owners AQS Redemption in Elba. (Not pictured-Co-Owner Quinn Schrader)- AQS opened in March of 2022, and has become a big part of the community in Elba. “So far it has been great, so the community has come out and we have been supported,” says Castro. “We get a lot of repeat customers all the time, Elba and Oakfield, we’re getting busier and busier all the time, its a lot of word of mouth that gets the word out,” says Schrader.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesee County will host the one-day drive in conjunction with AQS Redemption Inc., a local New York State bottle and can redemption company. Residents can schedule free pick-ups or drop off their redeemable bottles and cans at the company\u2019s location at 1 North Main Street in Elba, NY. Area businesses can also host a bottle and can drive at their workplace. Residents and businesses can call at 585-250-0870 or email aqsredemption@gmail.com to find out more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AQS Redemption will go to the different sites and pick up the bottles and cans for the drive. They will offer 6 cents a can instead of 5 cents.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are once again fortunate that AQS is willing to commit its collection facility for a full day in order to support our efforts as we look to enhance our workforce events and programs for our youth,\u201d said GLOW With Your Hands Co-Chair and GLOW Workforce Development Board Executive Director Jay Lazarony. \u201cOur partners in Genesee County government also recognize the importance of workforce development and we appreciate their partnership in this endeavor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
