The Loft is accepting the plastic caps for The Aveda Company who has launched a new program to recycle plastic caps. Plastic caps will be reused in making new caps and containers for their products. There is no provision for the cap to be recycled and if it does not pop off during compression the bottle is tossed from the conveyer into the garbage and ultimately into the landfill. According to statistics plastic caps are one of the largest number of items collected at clean ups. The program accepts caps that are rigid polypropylene plastic, sometimes noted with a 5 in the chasing arrows recycling symbol. This includes caps that twist on with a threaded neck such as caps on shampoo, water, soda, milk and other beverage bottles, flip top caps on tubes and food product bottles (such as ketchup and mayonnaise), laundry detergents and some jar lids such as peanut butter. Excluded from collection are pharmaceutical lids and non rigid lids such as yogurt lids, tub lids (margarine, cottage cheese), and screw on lids that are not rigid. IF YOU CAN BEND OR BREAK THE LID WITH YOUR BARE HANDS,
THEN IT DOES NOT MEET THE RIGID PLASTIC DEFINITION. Anyone who is willing to collect the plastic caps please call Linda Harmon, Clarksville Garden Club, 242-3788 for additional information.
