Put small plastic and metal lids into your black cart as garbage.

Tip: If the lid is smaller than the palm of your hand, it belongs in the garbage.

Why can't this be recycled?

  • Even if they are made from a recyclable material, caps are too small and light to be sorted properly by the sorting machines at the recycling facility and end up contaminating other recyclables. 
  • If you take your beverage containers directly back to a bottle depot, it is ok to leave lids and caps on in that case.
