Kauai County reminder: Bottle caps are non-recyclable
LIHUE, Hawaii — New markings on certain beverage containers say, “Recycle Bottle with Cap on,” but Kauai’s Public Works Solid Waste Division reminds the public that they’re not.
The caps are not part of the “HI5 beverage program segregated rate” according to a news release, and cannot be correctly processed and baled at the county’s recycling contractor. Therefore, the waste division advises the public to ignore the recycle directions on bottle caps and not place them in the Kauai Recycles green drop bins or take them to HI5 redemption centers.
