Ministries : Creation Care Team : Recycle Your Plastic Caps

Recycle Your Plastic Caps

Did you know that when you recycle plastic, most bottle caps are taken off and thrown away? Visit Aveda’s website to see what these plastic caps are doing to God’s creation and to learn more about what you can do.

You can bring your plastic caps to any Aveda Salon. One salon is located in Maple Grove - in the Fountains at Arbor Lake shopping area. View the list of locations. You may also drop your caps in the Creation Care Team cap collection bin in Fellowship Hall. Thanks for doing your part to make God’s creation a better place!

The program accepts caps that are rigid polypropylene plastic, sometimes noted with a 5 in the chasing arrows recycling symbol. This includes caps that twist on with a threaded neck such as caps on shampoo, water, soda, milk and other beverage bottles, flip top caps on tubes and food product bottles (such as ketchup and mayonnaise), laundry detergents and some jar lids such as peanut butter.


Excluded from collection are pharmaceutical lids and non rigid lids such as yogurt lids, tub lids (margarine, cottage cheese), and screw on lids that are not rigid. If you can bend or break the lid with your bare hands, than it does not meet the rigid plastic definition. Please do not include any metal lids or plastic pumps or sprayers. Unfortunately, too much of the wrong types of materials can contaminate the recycling process. We appreciate your efforts in keeping it clean!
