Milk Bottle Top Challenge
Next term we are involved in a milk top recycling challenge! We want to collect as many milk bottle tops as we can. The STDC has prizes of up to $1000 for the school that collects the most.
Get the whole whānau involved. Collect the milk tops off empty milk bottles, give them a quick rinse, let them air dry, and then bring them into school and empty them into the collection bin in the office.
We accept all coloured tops from dairy milk and cream plastic bottles. Boring Oat Milk and other alternative milk that comes in plastic bottles are also okay, but no boxed/liquid paperboard milk lids please. They must be the standard size that would be found on a 1,2, or 3-litre bottle
Milk bottle lids are too small to be recycled through kerbside recycling. Often these are put back onto empty bottles and put in our recycling bins. This means the recycling is contaminated and cannot be recycled, instead ending up in landfill. We are here to help solve the problem!
