Support Local youth Robotics – BCR’s Annual Bottle Drive is Back July 5th!

Mark your calendars! On Saturday, July 5th, Burlington Community Robotics will be hitting the streets for our annual Bottle Drive in support of FRC Team 2200 – BCR Blackout.

We’re collecting empty alcohol bottles, wine bottles, beer cans, and liquor containers—anything with a return deposit—to help raise funds for our 2026 robotics season. Every bottle you donate helps our student-led team continue to build, innovate, and compete at the highest level of the FIRST Robotics Competition.

📬 Keep an eye out for our flyers—delivered to homes all over Burlington in the coming weeks—with full details on how and when to leave your bottles out.

Thank you for supporting youth STEM education and helping us keep the robots rolling!

Will you be donating?
Letting us know in advance helps our pickup planning and ensures we swing by your house on July 5th to pick them up.

Spread the word!
Print off a copy of our flyer to post in your community, workspace, or any other place in Burlington that will help spread the word!
