Plastic bottle caps (63rd& main, DG)
**Would very much appreciate if you'd drop off small quantities but I can pick up larger ones** Our girl scout troop is collecting CLEAN plastic bottle caps (no metal!) for Lisle High School, where they partner with Green Tree Plastics through the ABC Promise Partnership to recycle plastic bottle caps into benches. PLEASE wash the caps first and verify that they do not contain any metal before contributing them. I’ll take any contributions through May!
