In today's article I will tell Why do some grocery stores collect plastic lids. It all started with the fact that a few days ago, at the checkout of a grocery store, I saw a small box, where "caps" were written in large letters. I wondered why it was needed, and I asked the cashier, and then read additional information on the Internet. Now I'll tell you why this box is still needed.
It turns out that this is a charity event in which absolutely anyone can take. Enough just throw a plastic lid into the box. When the box is full, it will be taken to the warehouse, from where the caps will be sent for recycling. The money from the recycled plastic goes to charities. But you need to know that Not all covers will work. First, the cover is required should be screwable and usually only with a drinkable product. Secondly, the quality of the plastic should be equal to that of high density polyethylene or polypropylene. It's easy to find out on the container
there must be a number "2" or "5" in the triangle of arrows. A couple of examples in the photo, scroll to the right.Also, the covers must be clean and must not contain product residues. Now each of us can do a little good deed. By handing over just a few caps, you will help people in need. In each city, the conditions for the delivery of caps may be different (as well as the organizations that collect them), therefore before surrender, read the rules that apply specifically in your city. Personally, I will hand over the accumulated caps every week, because it is not at all difficult, and a good deed is always a pleasure to do. If you liked the article, rate it with a like.
