Recycling feeds animals at the SPCA
Everyone interested in assisting in any way, can visit the club
DID you know? Plastic is manufactured in seven different densities.
Of the clean, transparent plastic cold drink and water bottles collected for recycling at Birch Acres Dog Training Club (BADTC), manufacturers can re-use them to make the fleecy material we wear in winter.
BADTC recently donated food to Kempton Park SPCA bought from money raised by collecting these bottles.

The bottle tops and bread tags also collected by the club emerged as an unexpected benefit with the bottle collection. The target is 150kg of bottle tops. Right now the club has 33kg in tops. When they make target, a waste collection company will sponsor a wheelchair to BADTC to give away to someone of their choice.
BADTC wants to thank all its contributors. Donors include local schools, restaurants, individuals from the public and members of BADTC.
BADTC reopens on September 5. Everyone interested in assisting in any way, can visit the club (corner Mooirivier Drive and James Wright Avenue, opposite Norkem Mall) on Saturdays after 12.30pm.
