recycling plastic bottle caps

While researching a feature for DIY Life, I discovered that I've been tossing something in the recycling bin that actually can't be recycled: plastic bottle caps. I also found out that Aveda accepts these caps and takes collected caps to a recycler to be turned into new containers. So I decided to start collecting our caps (just like how I have a pot for loose change that gets cashed in when its full.) Once my pickle jar is full, I'll drop off the caps at an Aveda in the city. It's easy enough to do and feels kind of like cashing in plastic for the environment.
