Girl Scout Troop #46

9/1/2021

Recycling by GS Troop 46

In the summer of 2019, Troop 46 with their families and friends began collecting plastic caps and lids; items whose fate might have been to end up in a landfill. However, the caps and lids that were collected had another journey planned for them.

In June, 2021, the troop hosted a sorting and weighing party to sort through the caps making sure they were all on the acceptable list of recyclables. When they started that morning they had no idea how many pounds had been collected. They were hoping to reach at least 200lb so they could get one bench, but they were very excited to find they had 410lb collected.

The caps and lids, having been sorted into ten 55-gallon plastic trash bags, took a 420 mile road trip to Evansville, Indiana. They were delivered to a company called Green Tree Plastics to be recycled into the benches you see today.

Each of these benches requires 200lb worth of plastic caps and lids. The two benches delivered to St. Elizabeth are made up of 400 pounds of plastic caps and lids combined. Lids and caps came from all over the Midwest, from local stores such as Crows Coffee, from the Saint Elizabeth cafeteria, from nursing homes and assisted living facilities, from Sporting KC games, just to name a few.

It took two years and much dedication but it was absolutely worth it. Thanks to Troop 46 these benches will stay at St. Elizabeth for years to come and be shared by many friends.
