Firstly, we would like to say a sincere thank you to everyone who has supported this initiative over the years. Thanks to your generosity and dedication, the scheme has raised valuable funds for charity while helping to recycle plastic that might otherwise have gone to waste.
Unfortunately, due to rising processing, transport and administration costs, together with a significant drop in the value of recycled plastic, we have made the difficult decision to bring the scheme to a close.
From 1st September, we will no longer be able to accept bottle tops at our site or carry our collections.
We know this news may be disappointing, and it has not been an easy decision to make. After carefully reviewing the scheme, we have concluded that we are no longer able to continue operating it.
We would like to thank you once again for all your support and understanding over the years. Your contributions have made a real difference to the charities that have benefited from the scheme.
We are an local independent company based in Portsmouth and recycle milk bottle tops for the charity of your choice from our list below. This started firstly with Naomi House doing the collecting and us the recycling. When Naomi moved to collecting old mobile phones we were overwhelmed with calls from collectors to carry on the recycling. It’s a local based scheme with many people involved through most of the South of England.
Since we started our scheme we are proud to have:
Raised more than £15,000 for multiple charities
Recycled more than 70 tonnes
There is a minimum payment amount of 500 kgs, we will keep this on file and let you know on request how your total is increasing.
Tops must be washed clean
Free of any paper, rubber or foil inserts
Our granulated tops go to make hard plastic toys for children, such as slides and other garden toys. They also go to make more bottle tops!
We are looking for a national company who we could persuade to receive bags of bottle tops at their stores and bring them to somewhere in our area where we can collect in bulk.

We’re always looking for companies who have the storage space for drop-off points to help more people collect. Please contact us if you feel you could help.
These are some of the charities and good causes that are being collected for. Please do not contact the charities directly; they are not directly involved in this scheme – this is independent, and this list is just a sample of who they nominate their money to go to.
