My college roomates and I throughout the year threw out beer bottle caps behind the TV. On the last day before we left we counted them up and we have over 3000 and thought maybe we could donate them to a company to make wheelchairs, much like they do with pop can tabs. Does anyone know if you can do this?

That's an average of approximately 8.2 beers a day, every day. Damn.

You could always recycle metal. There must be a center around your area.

Seems that the whole bottle cap for wheelchair campaign in the UK may have been a hoax.

Still, you could always craft a beer bottle cap wheelchair yourself and deliver it to a children's hospital in person - if you've got the free time to drink that much beer, you might as well put it to good use :P

It's a hoax, a pretty funny one. Though it wasn't funny when a friend of my mom's had people collect thousands only for them to find out it was a hoax, i felt bad.

I don't know about wheelchairs, but you can melt them down and create a bucket.
