CORKS
Thank you for uncorking this corker of an idea with us!
We need to keep corks out of the waste stream and we need cork because it is nature’s little buoys for our all oil spill booms!

Every backyard could have an urban edible garden, tiny home, and chicken coop.

What We Do With The Corks
We accept all natural and synthetic wine corks, as well as the metal caps and wires that come with champagne bottles.
Natural corks are used in our 100% natural floatation oil spill clean up booms made of hair and pet fur clippings. You shampoo because hair collects oil (and now oil spills)!
Synthetic corks are used in our new project researching insulation cubes made from laundry lint (microplastic fibers) and synthetic hair wigs, extensions and synthetic bottle corks. These cubes are to be used in Tiny Homes for sound proofing and temperature regulation insulation.
Even the wires and caps can be useful at recyclable decorations for packages and as little chairs for Hairy Fairy Gardens that use our Hair Mulch to help planting projects in schools!
Together we are sorting waste into resources!
We would be so grateful if...
Once your bag of corks is full, you could post it as a gift on our platform for Humanity Adding Solutions TheHumSum.org it’s fast, free, private and we never spam.
The nearest felting hub making hair boom / insulation cubes or school garden will request your gift. Please let us know you can mail it or if they need to pick it up.
