How Do You Pick the Right Location?
Most people just go with whichever location is closest to home, work, or their usual Beer Universe run. A few things worth considering:
- Pick a spot along your regular commute to save an extra trip
- Larger locations tend to move faster during weekend rushes
- If you’re bringing a big volume, call ahead to check wait times
- Any location can point you toward a pickup option if driving isn’t ideal
There’s no wrong choice. Every location runs the same manual counting process and pays out in cash on the spot.
What If None of the Locations Are Close Enough?
If you’re not near any of our 15 spots, or you’d just rather not make the drive, we can schedule a pickup instead.
This works especially well for:
- Households with several bags built up over time
- Landlords clearing out a rental property
- Bars, restaurants, and venues with regular high volume
Just reach out and we’ll arrange a time that works for you.
Can Your Group Fundraise at Any of These Locations?
Yes, and it’s one of the most popular reasons people reach out to us. We support fundraising for:
- Religious organizations and churches
- Boy Scout troops and youth clubs
- Bars, restaurants, and golf courses
- Police associations and government offices
- Colleges and regional hospitals
Whichever location is closest to your group, we can help set up a fundraiser there.
