And what about wine bottles?  I can deal with the metal cap separately, but on opening the metal cap detaches from a metal collar that would be difficult to remove from the glass bottle before it goes in the recycling bin.

Well done Sandra!

I heard the article on the radio this morning and I was very happy, because I’ve been saving lids separately since I discovered that they can’t go into the ordinary recycling, in anticipation of something like this happening.

I’ll continue to collect the peanut butter jar lids too, because sometime soon someone will come up with a solution for them as well, I’m sure.

 

Regards

Lia

I hope many of you recycle plastic drink bottles, and remove the lids as requested.  Like me, you may have seen the story on the ABC site about the Melbourne charity using plastic bottle tops to fuel 3D printers making prosthetic limbs for children. In Canberra the Aranda Street Library is a local drop-off point for bottle tops.  The Curves gym at Wanniassa is also a drop-off point, through one of the coaches there. If anyone wants to collect bottle lids and pass them on to me I'll make sure they get dropped off there. Not large lids like those on peanut butter jars, just the ones off soft drink/water bottles and milk bottles. I won't be at next COG meeting (away for July), but happy to get them after that.
