Minneapolis, where I live, has been a strong proponent of recycling for many years. They go so far as to give you a monthly discount on your waste bill if you participate.
One of the things that has always really annoyed me about the recycling program is that while they accept plastic bottles the city has always required us to remove the caps from the bottles and throw them in with the regular trash. These caps then go on to either live in a landfill for heaven knows how long or to the county garbage burner to be added to the air we breathe.
Imagine my surprise yesterday to read in the paper that Aveda, wants these caps because the company is recycling them on their own for reuse on their own products.
If you'd like to, you can read the article here:
Recycle those caps
For those who don't want to read the article but do want to do a really good thing for the enviornment for minimal cost, you can either drop them off at Aveda salons nationwide (to find a location near you check AVEDA website or send your plastic caps to:
