RT: Leave tops on plastic

Plastic bottle with top on is okay for recycling

♻️ Curbside Recycling Tip! ♻️

Leave the caps on when recycling plastic bottles! ✅

Why? Loose caps are too small to be sorted and often end up in the landfill. When you keep them on, they stay with the bottle and get recycled properly.

Just remember—bottles should be empty, clean, and dry before going in your cart! 🚰🔄♻️
