Bottlecaps to Benches Coming to an End
It is with sadness that we announce the end of Bottlecaps to Benches. On October 1, 2022 our partner, Green Tree Plastics in Evansville, IN, will be preparing to close the company due to the ownership's retirement. Never did we expect the response to this initiative and we are so grateful for the overwhelming support our community has shown it during the past 4 years.
First and foremost, we will be ceasing cap and lid collections immediately. We are in the process of contacting organizations, schools and individuals who we have been working with on collections. We are also working on an environmentally responsible way to dispose of any caps we may have left over or others have collected.
We will have a series of upcoming sort dates; getting caps ready for the final delivery is the biggest task we have ahead of us. The first of these sorts will be on Monday, Sept 5th (Labor Day) at 10:30AM. You can click here for this date and future dates to let us know you plan to attend.
We will have a final order of benches and tables delivered the last week of September. We likely only have enough caps to cover those items. If you or your organization are interested in items, please contact us and we will see if we have the ability to fulfill any additional items.
There are a few moving parts to ending the project. Please click here for the latest details.
Again, we thank you for the incredible support. It's an honor to give our students, families and community unique ways to give back where we live, learn, work and play. We look forward to doing continued great work together through our other initiatives.
