RT: Remove caps & tops

Glass bottles with tops removed for recycling ♻️ Curbside Recycling Tip! ♻️
Remove tops from glass jars and bottles; bottles & jars go in recycling and caps go in trash.
Why? Caps are too small to be recovered and fall through the screens at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).
A quick twist and a sort and you’re good to go! 💚🌎
