Mouthwash Bottle

Mouthwash Bottle

Household mouthwash containers, usually made from plastic bottles with plastic caps.

Disposal Options

  • Empty Bottle (rinsed) – Recycling Bin
  • Plastic Cap/Lid – General Waste Bin 

Why
Empty plastic bottles can be recycled when empty as leftover liquid can contaminate recycling streams. Caps are often too small or made from different plastics that make recycling difficult.

Did You Know
Many mouthwash bottles are made from recyclable plastics like PET, which can be turned into new bottles or containers when properly sorted and processed.
