Recycling Bins & Chutes

Good news! Most plastic bottle caps are made from recyclable plastic. 

Bad news! They are so small that if they are put into the blue bin, they will probably get filtered out at at the recycling sorting plant ("Material Recovery Facility"). 

So only put them in a blue bin IF THEY ARE screwed onto a bottle!

Freecycle / Give Away

Schools and art projects ask for donations of such bottle caps from time to time. Save them up and give away when there is a collection drive.
