What to do with all those plastic jugs?

In Thursday's Pueblo Chieftain an important question was asked.  What to do with all of Alamosa's plastic jugs from the water emergency?  some residents may be able to reuse a few of the thousands of jugs, but there will be tons to dispose of.  Colorado Gators Reptile Park just north of Alamosa will be accepting jugs for admission for the month of April.

Colorado Gators began as a fish farm in 1977 using geothermal water to grow tilapia, a food fish cultivated all over the world.  The fish farm is still operating and produces a good deal of dead fish and emulsion.  They are now bottling fish emulsion for sale and can use the thousands of plastic jugs for something beneficial. 

The jugs should be clean, unsmashed, and have the lid to be used for the fish emulsion.  Alamosa residents will receive $1 off admission for each jug brought in, up to 6 jugs per person.  That means a family of 5 may bring in 30 jugs and save $30 on admission!  For more details on "Jugs for Admission", call 719-378-2612.
