Fancy Shmancy Pen Recycling Barrel at Forestville Elementary School

I just delivered and installed a new fancy shmancy pen recycling barrel at Forestville Elementary School which was originally at Analy High School but was too big so I made them a smaller version. This pen recycling beauty is located smack dab in the middle of the entrance to the school as you go past the main office. Can’t miss it. Its going to be a good school year.

Pen Donation Barrel at Analy High School

Analy 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.

Pen Donation Barrel at El Molino Pharmacy in Forestville

Pen Donation Barrel at El Molino Pharmacy in Forestville

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:)

Donated Gel Pens from Queens NY

Donated Gel Pens Inside the Pen Guy’s Hard Hat

This batch of pens were donated and sent in by Nick and Steph all the way from Queens NY. One thing I ask is that when you send pens in please include an email or find me on Facebook so I can properly thank you.

Any ways I got a bag full of regular pens and also two bags full of Beifa Gel Ink pens jell pens which are great for projects that require benty pens. I covered my hard hat with them and created a pen tree on the inside driver door of the Mercedes Pens. They bend smoothly when heated with a heat gun which is good for me but not so good for the person who paid money for a pen that soon died. I always seem to get Gel Pens full of ink which means they don’t seem to last long and tend to dry up fast. If you find your self in that situation, no worries, once you send them in to me I will make sure they get a second chance in life to pursue other goals and purposes. Nick and Steph thanks a ton.

Fish Pen Finds Final Resting Place Inside Mercedes Pens

Fish Pen send in by Mari finds final resting place inside Mercedes Pens

A fish pen from Santa Cruz that found its way to the Mercedes Pens Art Car two years later is a remarkable story. I met Mari during Art Car Fest in Santa Cruz two years ago who came by to see all the art cars on display down town. Her fish pen finally run out of ink and she sent it in the mail just the other day. I have another fish lure pen made from the same company on the inside of the car, I think another one would be nice for company. Thanks Mari and keep sending in those old pens pens, a million is just around the corner.

“I met you last year driving the Art Car show on Pacific Ave. in Santa Cruz. I wanted to send you this pen (not working) for your collection. Keep on Arting!”- Mari
