Milk-Flagon Tops For Charity ?

[atalanta]

Our staff room is getting cluttered up with bucketsful of blue/red/green screw-on milk-flagon tops, which a now-retired employee used to collect on behalf of a charity. She has disappeared, but we can't find out where she used to send them. Does anyone know of a good cause which needs these ?

sorry atalanta, can't help you there, but am concerned they may be stinking of sour milk? :(

Most of the charities that collect milk tops are fairly local ones, such as this one in Norfolk & Suffolk:

There are some more here:

One of the articles I read in Buenchico's link mentioned that £90 was raised from 400 sacks containing 1.6 tonnes of tops in total. It seems you need a huge amount of storage space just to raise a few pounds. Don't most people have recycling collections at home anyway?
