What should we do with the bottle tops we're collecting?

[Staceface!!]

Does anybody know what to do with bottle tops once they have been collected? We have been collecting for a while to help with costs of an operation and now we are not sure how to exchange them for money? Any info would be great, thanks x

Oh, I collect them for charity, I just drop them off at the gym in Galletas and they have someone that collects them once a week (although it takes me a month or more just to fill up a 5ltr empty water bottle with tops)

Thankyou for your help, but I was actually looking for information on how you exchamge them for money, as this is for an operation for someone in my own family, rather than to add to on oing collections xx

I have a feeling you have to have collected A LOT for the company to exchange them for money.... have you googled (.es) it to see if any answers crop up?

I've googled and googled and googled it and can find nothing!!!!! We do have lots, we're had a few differen't organisations helping us, and I was told you need approximately a 'wheely bin' full? x
