Question: Collecting Labels etc for fundraising, ideas?

I have suggested that we collect various items, beyond boxtops, to raise funds. It has been shot down repeatedly. Success stories? How did you deal with empty food packets being brought in. Bugs?

Our school has collected soup labels for years - we repeatedly put instructions in our newsletters on how to submit labels - usually pre-cut and in paper bag. We have never gotten bugs or empty food containers. We have a 5th grade program that encourage community involvement and the 5th graders have taken on the task of cutting labels and sorting if necessary and getting them ready for mailing for credits in the program.
