Caps/Lids

Loose bottle caps are to small to be recycled alone, but can be left on the container if it is the same material, such as a plastic cap on a plastic bottle or jug. If the container is glass and the cap/lid is metal, it’s best to separate them before putting them both into the recycling bin. Be sure that the lid is larger than the size of a tennis ball.

Please remove and discard any nozzles (pump squirt nozzles) from spray bottles. The bottle is recyclable, but pump squirt nozzles are not.
