Plastic bottle lids should be placed in your general waste bin as they are too small to recycle through the recycling bin.
Lids left on can also cause pressure in a bale of plastic that has been sorted and is ready for recycling.
Bottles with lids on and that are still full of air will want to retain their original shape once compressed and this may cause the bale to burst.
There may be a collection point for plastic bottle tops in your area, pleases select your government and visit the ‘Near Me’ section on our page.
