My understanding is that the response to Aveda cap recycling has been so good that they have had to stop allowing drop-offs in their stores and now only collect through schools signed up to their cap recycling program. No more schools are being accepted as Aveda can only recycle plastic caps for the amount they need to make new caps for their products.

You can collected your plastic caps in a box and once full mail it to Caps and Cups for recycling. They take any bottle caps no matter which plastic for their recycling program.

What is a URL?
I used some bottle caps in the bottoms of my flower pots instead of rock, to provide drainage.

I save all the amber-colored prescription bottles (remove labels) & save seeds in them, and one’s I’ve plucked at end of season for next year in the garden. Am wondering if a community garden could use my extras. I never tried it, but heard that little dishes with beer can rid garden of slugs, and caps seem a good way to do this.
Soda flip tops can be used nicely for camp kids making necklaces.
fyi:There is a website called DoSomething.com and it might help class or club start a green project.

making an extra trip to recycle lids will waste more energy than throwing them away unless you save a ton of them first. most standard recyclers can handle the slight number mismatch.

We have businesses in both Lancaster, PA and Virginia Beach, VA and have garbage bags full of caps to donate. Due to the quantity, we cannot mail them anywhere. Is there a drop-off point anywhere in either of these areas? Please advise. Thank you!!

Since the discussion is regarding recycling plastic, please consider recycling your used gift cards (after spending them this holiday season). Typically, the retailer retains your used gift card, and they get thrown away. Most gift cards are made of PVC, a known toxic type of plastic that does not biodegrade in landfills. After spenging your gift card, ask the retailer to give it back to you, so you can recycle it. Earthworks (www.earthworkssystem.com) will take your old cards and recycle then. Collect a big batch and sending them to:
Earthworks c/o Halprin Ind.
