Devastating Wildfires
Oregon’s 2024 wildfire season came early and aggressively. Already this year, more acres have burned than any other year on record. OBRC has been working with the boots-on-the-ground wildland firefighting camps across the state to facilitate container redemptions to support their efforts. On one hand, we are in awe of the tireless efforts of these brave first responders who are risking their lives to protect the lives and property of their fellow Oregonians. On the other, we are deeply saddened by the devastation to our beautiful state caused by the all too common wildfires this year and previously.
OBRC invites our BottleDrop community to join us in supporting recovery and relief efforts.
OBRC’s Emergency Fund will match up to $50,000 in donations made via BottleDrop through September 30. Donations received in the OBRC Emergency Fund will be split between four organizations directing resources to those impacted by wildfire as identified by the Oregon Department of Emergency Management. The four organizations are:
- Oregon Cattlemen’s Association’s Wildfire Fund
- Oregon Farm Bureau’s Wildfire Relief Fund
- Oregon State University’s Post-Fire Recovery Fund
- Oregon Chapter of the Wildland Firefighter Foundation

How You Can Donate
There are two ways to donate:
- Online from your BottleDrop account and directly to the OBRC Emergency Fund.
- Take containers directly to any Full-Service BottleDrop Redemption Center and let staff know that you would like to direct the donation to the OBRC Emergency Fund.
BottleDrop customers are incredibly generous, and we are proud to work together to leverage the power of bottles and cans, supporting organizations making a big difference for communities and residents across the state, especially for those impacted by the wildfires.
