    The recycling companies will pay about 2.5p per pound for bottle caps. If you can figure out how to make money for a charity at that rate (accounting for transport and storage costs) you are not only a MSE but a miracle worker.
  • At GHS Recycling in Portsmouth we run a scheme where we will take any amount of milk bottle tops and keep this on file and let you know every 2 months how your total is mounting up. We pay £25 for every 500 kgs on a pro rata basis (minimum payout is on 500 kilos)

    At present we have 30 groups across the south of England who are collecting for 16 different charities.

    It is a slow process BUT it is another way of being greener and it is something for nothing!!
