Simply drop your empty plastic and aluminum containers in our carts (pictured below) located along Melrose Avenue between Olive Court and South Grand Avenue and throughout the following lots during Hawkeye football games.

You can also grab our gold tailgater bags from a Dance Marathon volunteer in a bright terracotta shirt in the above parking lots. From there, simply fill the bags with empty plastic and aluminum containers, seal and tie the drawstrings, and drop at the edge of your tailgate spot for collection.
The proceeds from your containers directly support Dance Marathon and the Iowa Children’s Hospital.
