Bottle Caps

Metal Bottle Caps are recyclable. You should not throw loose bottle caps in recycle bins. what happens during the metal recycling cap process? The recycling truck will deliver the materials it picks up at your curb to a material recovery facility. There, the truck will dump all of the materials, collected on, to a cement floor.

The recyclables are then unloaded on to a sorting line. The sorting line is comprised of conveyor belts moving through different stations. A huge magnet removes the soup cans and another piece of machinery removes the aluminum cans. During this process, materials are separated by size, and the bottle caps get lost here – they fall through the separating screens before there is a chance to recycle them.
