Pen Donation Barrel at Analy High School

Brigitte and her very own Coffee Mug Pen Donation Barrel at Analy High SchoolAnaly High School in Sebastopol now has pen donation barrel covered in pens ready for the new school year. I met Brigitte at the Forestville Business Expo who was very excited about starting a collection over at Analy. I placed the second barrel in front of her office mainly for the student body and staff to have easy access to for pen recycling. I wish you all the best in the coming school year and I thank you for participating with me in the one million pen drive.

If you too want one of these pen covered barrels please email me to order yours today.

My first pen recycling barrel covered in pens just went in last Thursday right after the Forestville Business Expo sponsored by the Forestville Chamber of Commerce. Pete Summers the new owner of the El Molino Pharmacy in Forestville agreed to be the first business to place one of my pen recycling barrels in front of his store. During the business expo I got a chance to talk to a lot of folks who were very pleased to have a place to donate all their old pens. I also talked to others interested in placing one of these custom pen barrels at their business or schools in the surrounding area. I would love to find more locations all over west county and beyond, so please email me to order yours today.

The Pen Guy’s Million Pen Drive is now on its way to realization with the help of the community who catch the vision of this peculiar project of mine:)

I just completed my first two pen covered donation barrels ready to be placed in locations around Sonoma County. I prepped the surface fist then went through about two tubes of silicone glue to decorate these formerly ugly looking 55 gal plastic drums. I will be unavailing these today at the Forestville Business Expo from 4 to 8pm looking for a business that will agree to become a pen donation location near down town.

The nice thing about these free once used plastic barrels is that they allowing me to continue making my pen art and expand my dream of collecting a million pens here in Sonoma County.
The pen barrels are custom made for each location making it easier to recycle pens on a regular basis and generate more traffic for those who want it. I also book an appearance to come by for a meet and greet with folks who want to drop off recycled pens and get a chance to see the Mercedes Pens Art Car.

If you are interested in participating in pen recycling please email me to order your pen recycling barrel for your business, school or other organization.
