People at work collect them for the "reward points", & after they are done throw about 20 away at once. I would love to be able to start a collection bin at work & drop them off at Whole Foods myself as it is closer to me than an Aveda salon. So, just to clarify, are Coke caps #5?

Something with pictures of acceptable items, maybe a list, maybe the symbols that have a 5 in them so we know the difference, maybe a list of items that cannot go in there, and maybe the reason why we are seperating the caps from the bottles................ I might work on that, but don't know how to share it with others. Someone should make a sheet we can print off an hang by a box to collect these.

So far I learned "no caps". Do I have to take the wrappers off the bottles? Do I need to separate the clear from the colored? I would think so. Would I receive the 5 cents per bottle or do I get paid by weight? How much do I need to have for the recycler to take them? I want to start recycling even tho I really don't have the room where I live.
