To collect 1 kg of caps, you need to collect 15 kg of bottles

Vinnytsia has started accepting plastic PET bottle caps for recycling at 5 hryvnias per kilogram.

The caps, along with plastic bottles, can be handed in at 10 Eco-Service recycling centers, according to the community's Facebook page.

"Be eco-conscious and take care of the environment," the message urged.
