Help The Sweethearts Foundation with 30 volunteers for recycling tops and tags for wheelchairs

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Give the Gift of a Wheelchair! Weโ€™re on a mission to turn everyday trash into mobility treasures โ€“ and we need your help! Every wheelchair is made possible by recycling: โ€ข 1,750 kg of plastic bottle tops โ€“ the weight of a young elephant! ๐Ÿ˜ โ€ข 350 kg of bread tags โ€“ about the same as a fully grown cheetah! ๐Ÿ† It takes thousands of small items to make one BIG difference. What to Collect: โ€ข Plastic bottle tops with recycling codes #2, #5 or #7 (look for the number on the underside). โ€ข If you can drink the product, you can usually keep the lid! โ€“ This may exclude peanut butter, mayonnaise or detergent lids. โ€ข No metal lids, caps, or glass bottles. โ€ข Make sure all items are clean and dry. ๐Ÿ“ Where to Drop Off: Weโ€™ve got 100+ collection points nationwide! Use this map to find the one nearest to you: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1BTslunOGMavGjmZuFxHKx5ZlXJI&ll=-30.26828285885855%2C28.961695343444703&z=5 Always contact your chosen point first to confirm the address and drop-off times. Click Volunteer and let us know where you're located. If thereโ€™s no collection point near you, you can become one and help others donate too!
