All you need is a BottleDrop account and an Oregon ABLE Savings Plan account to start saving, and you can save for anyone that has an Oregon ABLE Savings Plan account—yourself, your kids and grandkids, family, or friends.
Set Up Automatic Contributions
How do I connect an Oregon ABLE Savings Plan account with a BottleDrop account to make automatic contributions?
- Log in to your BottleDrop account.
- When viewing your account, select Oregon College Savings Plan from the options appearing on the left side of your screen (desktop) or below Quarterly Bag Limits (mobile).
- Select the Manage button beside Connect and Manage Accounts.
- Click the Add New Recipient button.
- Choose ABLE from the Program Account Type drop-down list to connect an Oregon ABLE Savings Plan account, then enter your account details:
- Account number (10–11 digits)
- Account owner’s name
- Beneficiary’s name
- Monthly contribution amount ($5.00 minimum)
- Click the Save Changes button, and you’re good to go!
Keep in mind, you can connect more than one BottleDrop account to an Oregon ABLE Savings Plan account, so friends and family can regularly gift their deposits to an ABLE account.
If you wish to do a one-time transfer of a different amount, you can do so by selecting the Transfer button next to One Time Transfer, after you have connected your accounts.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You must have a BottleDrop account to use BottleDrop to transfer your bottle and can refunds to an Oregon ABLE Savings Plan account. Note that you don’t have to use Green Bags. If you return containers using a self-serve return machine, you can take the voucher to a kiosk and put your returns into a BottleDrop account.
Yes. After you have connected an Oregon ABLE Savings Plan account with your BottleDrop account, you can create automatic recurring transfers. You will go through the process as if you are setting up transfers for an Oregon College Savings Plan account. Log in to your account, click on College Savings, then click on “Set up recurring transfers.” Note that there is a minimum $5 transfer, and your BottleDrop account must have sufficient funds for transfers to be processed.
It’s simple. BottleDrop has partnered to securely connect BottleDrop accounts to Oregon ABLE Savings Plan accounts. When you initiate a transfer from your BottleDrop account, we set up a secure transfer, and the funds will be placed in the Oregon ABLE Savings Plan that you selected when setting up the transfer. The minimum transfer is $5, and a recurring transfer will be rejected if your BottleDrop account does not have sufficient funds.
On the 25th of each month, BottleDrop will initiate the transfers, and funds will be withdrawn from your BottleDrop account for recurring transfers. Allow approximately two weeks for the funds to appear in your Oregon ABLE Saving Plan account.
The program only works with Oregon ABLE Savings Plan accounts.
