Why cant I recycle plastic caps, even if the plastic bottle and cap are made of the same stuff?
A. Because the caps pop out of the bails. Plastics are now transferred from Springfield (where we ship our plastics) to a secondary sorting plant. Springfield does some preliminary sorting then bails its plastic for shipping. The caps pop out during the compaction phase of the bailing process; and, probably fall through the wire after bailing. Bailing is nothing more than compaction followed by wire bundling. This is not the same reason that was provided a few months ago.
