Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Contamination means putting the wrong items in the recycling bin: food-soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items, or anything not specifically accepted kerbside. High contamination can cause an entire truck load to be sent to landfill.
In many councils, recycling is collected every two weeks, often alternating with garden organics. Some areas run weekly recycling, and a few run weekly general waste with fortnightly everything else. Enter your address above to find your specific schedule.
Metal screw-top lids from glass jars and bottles can stay on when you put them in the yellow bin. Small plastic caps on plastic bottles should generally be removed, as they're often a different plastic type. Large plastic lids from takeaway containers are fine in recycling.
