If the cap or lid is clear plastic, you can throw that in the recycle bin according the Philly rules. (If the lid isn't clear, that can be thrown in the trash.) Also, Philly wants you to rinse out the plastics/aluminum/etc. before you put them in the recycle bin. I suggest putting a little soap & water and letting it sit versus wasting excess water.
