These pens were just laying on the big barrel I had at City Life last week and probably the last at that location. All the tenants will be moving out so I had to reclaim my barrel and change my mail in address: The Pen Guy P.O. Box 994 – Forestville CA – 95436. Thank you City Life for allowing me to have pens sent there.

I just picked up four more locations near and around Santa Rosa where you can drop off your old used pens. I still need to build a recycling bin for Video Droid and drop the one I made for Cafe Noto in Windsor. I also picked up ten more blank bins that I will decorating at the Sonoma Family Expo today from 3:30 to 8:00 pm for any one who want to get in on the pen recycling gig.

  1. Cafe Noto-Windsor
  2. Rileystreet Art Supply – Santa Rosa
  3. Video Droid – On Mendocino Ave SR
  4. Corrick’s – 4th Street Down town SR

Check out the Google maps on the side bar for even more locations near you, by the way a great way to generate more traffic for your business and do something nice for environment and The Pen Guy.

Pen Recycling Locations now on Google Maps

Donated Pens from VNA Sutter Thrift Store in Santa Rosa
Things are really picking up with my pen drive and last week I was fortunate to pick up a few more pen recycling locations at the VNA & Hospice Foundation Thrift Store in Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park . I also set up all the pen drop off locations on Google maps to make it easy to find the one near you. Now I am looking to add more locations in the Bay Area so if have a good location in mind and would like to participate in my Million Pen Drive please let me know. Nice thing about participating in the drive is that it puts you on the The Pen Guys map and sends a bit more traffic your way.

I also went legitimate and got my very own PO Box address for people to send pens in the mail.

Its not often that I get governmental cooperation to help me collect a million pens but last week I did. My source within the agency made some inquires and got permission to place five pen recycling bins around the office and then called me with the go ahead on the project. I did some recon and found the best bins for the best price at Walmart , and then proceeded to attack them with glue and pens. The result, five beautiful pen recycling bins for use at the secret government location somewhere on planet earth. To all of you pen recyclers at the facility thank you and thank you to the higher ups for making it happen:) Can’t wait to come by for that visit:)

Pen Recycling Barrel Now at City Life in Santa Rosa

Pen Recycling Barrel Now at City Life in Santa Rosa

City Life community center has a for a long time now graciously allowed me to have pens mailed here at 2425 Mendocino Ave in Santa Rosa. They were even more gracious when I asked them if I could put one of my pen recycling barrels in the front lobby. Now not only can you mail pens here but you can if you want go down and drop them off your self. They have been very supportive with my Million Pen Drive so I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

City life community center is a very unique place, it used to be a Heald college location and now its a place where many organizations meet and hold meetings during the week. They have ballet and martial arts classes, 5-6 churches meet there such as City Life Fellowship , Giving Tree Church and others. Hope Works is also located there, a non profit organization that is gang intervention and inmate reentry program. Its a great place to find great information about local events and meetings that are happening all through out the week.

The New Pen Donation Address is:
The Pen Guy – P.O.Box 994 – Forestville, CA 95436
