A lot of harm...

And a lot of good.

Recycle Plastic Bottle Caps

Share the Planet

Happily, market demand has encouraged many major recyclers to expand their capabilities to include processing plastic bottles with the caps on! Please check with your local municipal recycling provider to see if “caps on” is available in your area, or visit Earth911.com to find a recycling facility near you.

Recycle plastic caps at Weisenbach Recycled Products

We accept clean plastic bottle caps for recycling.  Plastic can be shipped to our office or dropped-off during regular business hours.

Our program focuses on recycling #5 (polypropylene) plastic caps. Please rinse or clean caps well enough to remove any remaining product. Our facility foes not have a wash line for cleaning caps. Please remove foil, foam or paper liners. Note, most caps are NOT marked with the #5. We can recycle caps that meet the following criteria:

• Caps from threaded neck bottles (soda, juice, shampoo, detergent, aspirin, etc.)
• Plastic Jar Lids (peanut butter, pickles, mayo, etc.)
• Flip caps from tubes, personal care products & food product bottles (condiments)
• Flexible snap-on lids (butter tub lids, yogurt cup lids, etc.)

Caps NOT accepted:

• No caps with foil, foam or paper liners (unless liners are removed);
  glue residue & flexible plastic liners are OK
• No dirty caps encrusted with food particles or foreign materials
• No flat, snap on/off lids from milk/water jugs (usually made from #4 LDPE)
• No metal lids or caps with metal inserts (nothing metal at all)
• No plastic pumps or sprayers (typically contain metal components)
• No caps or lids that break when bent (possibly #6 PS or other brittle plastic)
