Elderly and handicapped donors who have no way to transport their scrap can call fundraising chair Rick Ohrt at 472-4813 or email vintonlionsclub@gmail.com to request curbside pickup. Questions about acceptable items may also be directed to Rick Ohrt. A full list of acceptable items is available below.

Donated scrap will be crushed and/or recycled by A-line Metals and Iron of Waterloo, with proceeds going to the Vinton Lions for their many local projects, including school programs, college scholarships and Viking Athletic Boosters; Boy Scouting; Veterans Honor Flight, and Kids Sight vision testing equipment for area preschoolers; and helping those in need obtain eye glasses and hearing aides.
