Reuse:
BuyNothing: Post them on the BuyNothing app. Many artists on the island love to use metal bottle caps in their art.
Recycle:
Plastic bottle caps should be taken off bottle before recycling in Bainbridge Island/Kitsap County and put in the trash. However, Ridwell, the local special recyclables subscription service, will take bottle caps. If you don’t have a Ridwell subscription, find a neighbor or friend who does (over 1,200 islanders do) and ask if they will take them. The caps are recycled into new plastic pellets for manufacturing new plastic items.
