  1. How to Recycle Lids

  2. Can you recycle lids? Yes you can! One thing to know before we dive into the blog, is different material lids have different recycling requirements. Find out how you can recycle plastic, aluminium and steel top lids the right way.

  3. Plastic Plastic top lids are the easiest to recycle. Simply remove and collect your plastic top lids from your bottles e.g. milk, juice cartons, and place them in a yellow-top recycling bin. In WA, every household should have access to a yellow-top bin. However, if you find yourself without one, simply contact your local council to request a bin to be delivered to your home. Quick tip: Keep your containers you separate your lids from, these can be traded in 10c per container at the Containers for Change depot. We’ve provided further detail about Containers for Change at the end of this blog article.

  4. Aluminium Just like plastic lids, aluminium lids can be recycled into the yellow-top bin. Aluminium lids are often found on soft-drink and wine bottles. The lids usually have a plastic lining in them. The plastic lining should be removed and put into a red-top waste bin. Double check your aluminium lids before placing them in the yellow-top bin.

  5. Steel While steel lids can be recycled, they require a little TLC before they can be recycled. Steel lids are found on food cans and beer bottles. The lids can be sharp, and unsafe to handlers. We recommend putting the lid into the can, and squeezing the can shut. This will keep the lid safely locked in the can, and away from any unsuspecting fingers. The steel lid can be recycled in a yellow-top bin once prepared correctly.

  6. Containers for Change Do you want to make some money from your recycled goods? Containers for Change is a government initiative to incentivise recycling for eligible containers. While the lids themselves are not eligible for the 10c refund, they can be recycled at this facility. Please note only lids from eligible containers can be recycled at Containers for Change. To donate, simply separate your containers and lids, and drop off at the depot.

  7. Containers for Change Eligible containers include: • Plastic containers e.g. water bottles • Cans • Paperboard Cartons • Steel Ineligible containers include: • Milk containers • Glass containers that once has alcohol in them • Syrup containers • Some health tonics For more information visit the Containers for Change website.

  8. Conclusion In conclusion, lids are simple to recycle. All of the mentioned lids can be recycled into the yellow-top bin. Watch out for sharp edges on steel lids, and ensure you are disposing of your lids safely.
