Best Rule of Thumb: It must be a clean cap or lid that is 100 % plastic and not used for medical purposes. Collect only Plastic Caps!  Remember they must also be clean & dry!                                                                                                                              

Examples of Cap:                                                   

Caps on Food Products: Bottles, Milk, Juice, Broth, “Squeezy” Caps, Peanut Butter, Mayonnaise, Ketchup, Mustard, & Other Condiments                                                                

Other Caps: Medicine Bottle Cap, Lotion, Soap, Toothpaste, Detergent Caps, Spray Paint, & Deodorant                                                

Examples of Lids:                                                               

Food Lids: Butter, Ice Cream, Dips, Cool Whip, Cottage Cheese, Sour Cream, Coffee, & Pringles
