Bottle Cap Recycling Project Nearing End!

We’ve almost reached our goal for collecting bottle caps that will be made into benches or a picnic table! We’re so thankful to Paulette’s Potting Shed and Druskovich Farms for their efforts to make this happen. You can still get in on the project by collecting, cleaning, and drying bottle caps through the end of June.

June 30, 2022 is the last day we will be accepting bottle caps at the VBCD office and Paulette’s Potting Shed. Please ensure that all bottle caps are clean and that they fit the collection criteria, which you can see here: https://vanburencd.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Acceptable-Caps-List-with-Pictures.pdf
