Help The Sweethearts Foundation with 50 volunteers for recycling tops and tags for wheelchairs
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
The big rule is that we only collect bottle tops with a #2 or #5 resin, which is the little recycling number on the bottle top. As a rule of thumb, we always tell Sweethearts that "if you can drink the product, you can keep the lid." This excludes household detergents, peanut butter, and mayonnaise lids, among others. Absolutely no metal tops, lids, or caps at all. To find your closest collection point, please zoom into your area on this map: http://sweetheartsfoundation.org/your-help/#findcollectionpoints Our collection points are run by wonderful Sweethearts volunteers. We would recommend you contact your closest collection point ahead of time to confirm the exact address and a suitable time and date of delivery. If you don't have a collection point nearby (or even if you do have a collection point nearby), you can become an Official Collection Point for The Sweethearts Foundation. By doing so, you'll be helping us collect and recycle precious #TopsandTags that can make a big difference in the lives of others. It's easy to sign up - just follow the link below, fill in the form, and let us know where you're located.
