At the beginning of this month the taxi drivers of Arrecife have organised a special receptacle in the shape of a taxi cab to deposit plastic bottle tops at their headquarters in the borough of Maneje. Plastic bottle top collection is becoming more popular on the island with the local councils installing cages in different areas for the public to make deposits of the bottle tops which can be used to recycle and make money for charities.
The chauffeurs have already managed to collect and donate a deposit of bottle tops weighing 190 kilos, and will shortly be depositing a second batch of 100 kilos.
