The Anglo Turkish Association of Northern Cyprus is proud to help and contribute to the benefit of the environment by collecting and recycling plastic bottle tops.
Instigated by past association chairman Pearl Mitchell and continued on by successive chairmen since, the association collects plastic bottle tops (whilst blue bottle tops are preferred, the ATA accepts plastic bottle tops of any colour) which it then converts into much needed items for the less fortunate amongst those in Northern Cyprus through the TRNC bottle top recycling initiative.
PLEASE help the association recycling scheme by donating your used plastic bottle tops to help the association provide items such as wheelchairs to those in need.
Whilst Blue plastic bottle tops are preferred, any other coloured plastic bottle tops are also acceptable.
Why Recycle; Recycling plastic means reduced quantum of plastic waste. This in turn reduces pollution and saves a lot of animal species crucial to the food chain. Manufacturing of plastic from scratch requires much more energy compared to producing products from recycled plastic. Plastic Recycling helps to reduce energy usage, it reduces the consumption of fresh raw materials, it reduces the water pollution and air pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for conventional waste disposal and it reduces greenhouse gases emissions.
Don’t throw your plastic bottle tops into the rubbish, do something constructive with them, by donating them to our association and thereby do your little bit for the environment.
Whilst Blue plastic bottle tops are preferred, any other coloured plastic bottle tops are also acceptable.
As a direct result of the association’s Recycling Scheme for plastic bottle tops, the association ensures the Orthopaedic Disabled Association (ODA) in Lefkoşa is never without wheelchairs.
Between us ALL lets each and every one of us try and do something positive for the future not only of our planet but for those that follow on after us. Do your little bit today – save your plastic bottle tops and donate them to our association!
In 2021 Creditwest Bank assisted the association by giving 6 bottle top collection boxes and in 2022 a further 6 collection boxes. Some of these are still in use at the following businesses; Gloria Jean’s Coffee Shop in Alsancak, Black Olive Cafe & Studio in Alsancak, the Olive Press Bowls Club in Lapta, Tekin Adalı Spor Tesisis in Lapta, Royal Rafters Indian Bar & Restaurant in Ozanköy, Aphrodite Beachfront Resort in Güzelyurt.
The association is grateful for the ongoing help with the ATA Recycling Scheme it receives from all the business where there are bottle top collection boxes located.
The associations own bottle top collection boxes
Ex-Association Chairman, Philip Lloyd, said “If we all do the little act of saving the plastic bottle tops from all the bottled water we buy, and then by donating them to our association, everybody can rightly claim to be not only doing something positive in helping our environment improve but also know that the little act they have done will also help the disabled amongst us as well”. The ATA’s successful Bottle Top Recycling Scheme has been re-vamped, with members of the public now able to donate their own plastic bottle tops to the ATA’s recycling scheme at numerous locations across Northern Cyprus, plus in the future at other locations as this initiative evolves.
Chairman of the Orthopaedic Disability Association (ODA), Günay Kibrit, said “Angloturkishassociation başkanı Sevgili Philip Lloyd birşktirmiş olduğu kapakları derneğimize getirerek kampanyamıza destek oldular. Tüm emeği geçenlere teşekkürler”.
