Did you know that plastic caps that do not get recycled properly, "are among the top five most commonly found items of litter worldwide." Most bottle cap waste comes from consumer drinks and food packaging - Stacey Leasca
Help us keep Northwood and Huron River clean by participating in a bottle cap collection competition. All you have to do is collect the metal and plastic bottle caps from everyday beverages in your household - water bottle caps, orange juice caps, beer bottle caps. On the last day of August you can drop off your caps at the 1000 McIntyre Community Center (or if you are unable you can request a Residential Advisor pick up the caps from outside your door). In the end, the winning group (NW 1/2, 4, or 5) with the most bottle caps will get free prizes.
Acceptable Items: plastic or metal bottle caps (if you have questions about whether a cap is acceptable, please send us an image via email)
Unacceptable Items: Flat lids (e.g. margarine tubs, yogurt tops), lotion pumps or spray pumps
PLEASE SIGN UP HERE IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF NW 5
