GENSHU PRICE: It was my dad's idea to collect cans and bottles to help fund my college tuition, and then I figured I could make it into something bigger and help other college students instead.

We want to create a system where at least yearly, we can send one to two kids on a fully funded ride to college. So that would take two to four million cans of bottles. Right now, we have over 100,000 cans and bottles collected, which comes to over 5,000 pounds. It's definitely exciting. Every can counts-- one can and bottle at a time.

Look at what happened when the community came together. Thank you guys so much.
