Cork Challenge
“Every empty bottle is filled with a great story”
In 2020, the Horticulture Committee challenged the club to save our wine corks. With the pandemic, this challenged continued on till May of 2021, when we were finally able to gather for our Annual Meeting. Our club was busy over Covid, we collected over 8 pounds of wine corks! Anne Hall, Horticulture Chair, delivered the wine corks to WineStyles, at 10076 South 74th Plaza, who recycles them. Thank you to WineStyles for recycling and being good to Mother Earth! Another tidbit of information is that they also recycle wine bottles by giving them to the Smash Room. Evidently, people will pay to smash bottle and the broken glass is given to Metropolitan Community College Arts for projects. So if you are looking for a place to take your wine bottles or corks, along with purchasing wine, please keep WineStyles in mind. Thank you Anne for collecting the corks, finding a place that recycles them and delivering them for our group!
