    Earth’s 911 mentioned in the most recent newsletter that plastic bottle caps can be recycled. As the local recycling coordinator Newton County, I’d like to check into recycling bottle caps from our community. Does anyone know of a company that takes them? Obviously, according to Earth’s 911, there is one but I can’t seem to find it.

    Hi Connie,
    Actually, we recently covered a story on Aveda’s cap recycling program, which you can find here. The program looks like it might be right up your alley!
    Thanks,

    I have been trying to find a place in the Atlanta area that recycles different grades of plastic like plastic from fax machines, electric scooters, empty cases for like a skill saw and other grades of heavy plastic. Any one know of a location then email me at charlie_30078@yahoo.com and put in the subject line recycle.
