As part of our commitment to take practical action to care for God’s earth we are at present exploring how we might become more environmentally aware. To do that we are working towards the Eco Church awards. Eco Church is a programme run by A Rocha UK , a Christian charity working to protect and restore the natural world and committed to equipping Christians and churches in the UK to care for the environment.

One of the ways we seek to care for the environment is in the recycling of Milk Bottle tops, with the proceeds going to charity.

MILK BOTTLE TOPS

We collect all type of clean, plastic milk bottle tops, which are then recycled. The recycling company pays a small amount per tonne collected, which we donate to the Chestnut Tree Hospice. Since we started collecting, we have collected millions of bottle tops! If you would like to recycle with us, please bring your bottle tops to St. Paul’s Church.   When you enter the car park, you will see a large sign directing you to the recycling bins.

Please note we are only able to recycle the kinds of tops used on fresh dairy milk bottles – we cannot accept any other plastic bottle tops.
Please put your tops into the correct bin! If you have medium or large bags please place them into the bagged bin and small quantities into the loose bin!
Chestnut Tree House is the only children’s hospice in Sussex and cares for children and young adults from 0-19 years of age with progressive life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses from all over the county.
