Stayin' Warm event attendees....bottle caps

I know it's short notice, but for anyone attending the Stayin' Warm event in Birch Run next week, I am collecting bottle caps for recycling into park benches.

I have a stamp available for anyone who donates caps. See the event box listing to see what kind of caps are needed. Stamp will either be in my room, or the host suite.
Thanks!

AWESOME!!!

My Kids and I have started taking them off the tops of every pop bottle they find they even talked there grandparents into saving them for you.

Bobbie even said she'd go through her collection of bottles and get her stash together.

Thanks! It's not just bottle caps. Any hard plastic caps and lids. I think recycle #'s 2, 4, 5... water bottles, pop, medicine caps, mayonnaise, condiments, peanut butter, laundry detergent, hair spray, shampoo, cottage cheese, sour cream, etc!

One thing I noticed in my last collection, people were adding the plastic lids from carry out cups. These are not hard enough and not usable. Also, people threw in a bunch of metal tabs from pop/beer cans. Also, not usable for this collection.

I appreciate the help!

No can do! Same stamp as last time! You're welcome to stamp the stamp a second time! ;)

I haven't decided if I will continue collecting the caps. But, you may as well keep collecting them for February. It's likely that I will do it again.

When I collected these for another's campaign I learned after the fact that pill bottles (prescription type) are also accepted. Had I known that I could have added another 10 pounds. Might want to see if they work in your case.

I'm not sure I'm going to make it to the event :(

I have kids soccer games at 12:30, 12:40, and 6:50. Then I have to sell hot dogs for our scout pack at 2:00-4. and then I have to be in Brighton at 6:15 for a monthly group date night. I'm soooo bummed. will the boxes be left out on Sunday? We have robotics from 1-3, but perhaps Mike can go instead of me and I could get the boxes.
why do people have to schedule ALL the things when I want to letterbox????

It's because you are busy with kids. I can't believe you can even find time to letterbox; I was flying here and there everyday! But even though it's busy, don't wish the years away. Your time will come (as mine has) where letteboxing truly is a hobby you can fit into your life.

I'm sorry I won't be able to say hello to my letterboxing friends at the Birch Run event. Terry and I already had a vacation scheduled and we are in the midst of enjoying that. Have fun, everyone! Box on!

Cool deal! I will do the collection again at the February event. I still haven't turned the ones I collected into them, so I might still have them then! ;)
