The Solid Waste District is partnering with Green Tree Plastics, Inc. in Evansville to offer "A Bench for Caps" recycling challenge to all elementary and middle schools in Spencer County.  From now until February 15, 2012 students will collect metal-free plastic bottle and jar caps.  When a school has collected 400 lbs. of the caps they will be exchanged for a  FREE 6 foot bench made from 100% recycled material.  This site will be updated every   Friday beginning December 2, 2011 so schools can track their progress.
