Plastic milkbottle tops


Does anyone on here collect above for charity? If so, I have a bag full to donate!

I know there are all sorts of legends about collecting milkbottle tops for charity and I have checked my local area for anyone collecting with no luck.

Re: Plastic milkbottle tops


So Angie - were you just collecting these on the off-chance there might be a charity that could use them

Seriously though, no idea. I will check our CP website to see if it's something they collect!

Re: Plastic milkbottle tops




Our local Cat and Rabbit Rescue used to collect them and so I started saving them about 3 years ago! I now have my bag full and checked up to see if the C&RR was still collecting them - but no. So I thought I'd ask the question before chucking them in the rubbish as they can't be recycled atm by our District Council.

Re: Plastic milkbottle tops


So can you actually recycle these bottle tops and help charities? Yes!
  • The Rose Road Association, a charity which provides services for young people with disabilities in the Hampshire area has been accepting them but will not be accepting milk bottle tops after 30th September 2007. However the company that recycles them are happy to receive them on Rose Road's behalf, however they must be sent directly to the recyclers at Associated Polymer Resources (APR), Wrens Farm, Castle Lane, North Badesley, Southampton, SO52 9LY. They must not be sent to Rose Road's offices.
  • Gift of Sight is another Southampton charity collecting plastic milk bottle tops with APR. Like Rose Road they have a collecting bin at ARP's depot at Wren's Farm, but also have a bottle top bin at Southampton General Hospital outside the entrance to Eye Casualty. See www.giftofsight.org.uk for more details
  • If you wish to collect them for recycling there is a company that recycles them, G.H. Services – Recycling who are in Portsmouth. They have a minimum quantity which they will accept for payment, however they have told us that they are happy to accept small amounts of milk bottle tops on behalf of charities, which we will keep on file and they will inform groups every 2 months how their total is mounting up and send them a newsletter.
