Plastic Lids

Put in Garbage/Landfill

Plastic lids and straws belong in the garbage– including options that claim to be compostable.

Skip the lid and straw whenever possible or utilize reusable ones. If a disposable option is needed, look for one that is fiber-based (paper, bagasse or startch for example). Those can be composted and belong in the organics.
