Your Cans Will No Longer Be Accepted At Select Iowa Walmarts
Those who aren't taking their bottles and cans back to get their deposit in Iowa are really wasting a huge chunk of money every year. Iowa is one of 10 states that has a "bottle bill" that allows you to return select bottles and cans to be redeemed for a few cents. In Iowa, bottles and cans that are eligible for a return are worth 5 cents. But no matter where you buy your cans or bottles in Iowa, the store charges you a 5-cent deposit. So, if you don't bring your bottles and cans back to be redeemed, you're wasting a lot of money.

They pair good folks in the community ("Bigs") with kiddos ("Littles" ages 7-18) to help them navigate challenges of life and grow into an awesome person. And BBBSMV has that down to an art.
