Lakeland, Fla. – The SPCA is collecting hair (pet and human) to help in the effort to mop up the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The hair will be packaged and mailed to Matter of Trust – a non-profit organization that collects hair to help clean up oil spills. The only requirement is that the hair be clean and debris free. You can drop off hair donations to the SPCA at 5850 Brannen Road South in Lakeland.
