Recycling lids and caps Often left out of curbside programs
Earth Talk explains that many programs do not accept plastic lids and caps because they are made from different plastics and can contaminate the recycling stream or jam equipment. Some programs accept lids only if removed and batched separately. Metal caps are sometimes accepted, but vary by locality. The best practice is to prefer large containers to reduce overall packaging waste.
