A Bench for Caps
Every second thousands of pounds of plastic are being buried in the earth where it will remain for centuries. What if there was a sustainable solution that could reduce this waste and benefit families all at the same time.
Our local Girl Scouts have partnered with Green Tree Plastics in collecting bottle caps and lids to be recycled and transformed into benches for our playground!
“A Bench for Caps” is an exciting program wherein bottle caps are transformed into 100% recycled park benches that will last a lifetime. This is the most-perfect-real-life example of sustainability and it happens quite naturally as the kids can’t wait to share the story of their bench.
We need your help!
Simply collect caps and lids and bring them to Sara’s Garden. We have collection bins in the lobbies of both the school and hyperbaric center. The Girl Scouts will do the rest. It’s that simple.
- Medicine bottle caps
- Detergent caps
- Deodorant caps
- Flip-top caps (ketchup and mustard tops)
- Mayonnaise jar lids
- Ice cream bucket lids
- Coffee can lids
- Drink bottle caps
- Hair spray caps
- Spout caps (mustard caps)
- Cream cheese container lids

- Ointment tube caps
- Cottage cheese container lids
- Peanut butter jar lids
- Cool Whip container lids
- Metal caps/lids of any kind
- Trigger sprays

Together we can turn already existing plastic into custom park benches intended to last a lifetime.
