Omcan Green Polypropylene Lid for Recycling Bottles & Cans

Coloured green to match Canadian municipal recycling colour codes in some regions, this lid signals the bin is for bottles, cans, and recyclables specifically, reducing contamination from general trash. Restaurants in cities with strict recycling bylaws benefit most from clear visual cues.

The round opening accommodates standard beer and pop cans, water bottles, and most beverage containers without jamming. For larger items like wine bottles, choose a wider-opening lid to prevent staff manually pushing oversized items into a small hole.

Yes, the lid is sized for standard round commercial waste containers commonly used in Canadian foodservice. Confirm bin diameter against the lid measurement before ordering, since aftermarket bins from different manufacturers have slight diameter variations.

Standard recycling streams typically don't accept broken glass or sharp items, and the lid opening size doesn't accommodate them safely anyway. Provincial waste bylaws specify disposal procedures for sharps and broken glass, which usually require dedicated rigid containers.

Spray and wipe the lid daily with a food-safe sanitizer, paying close attention to the opening edges where sticky beverage residue accumulates. Weekly, lift the lid for a deeper clean of both surfaces with hot soapy water, then air-dry fully before re-fitting.

Yes, polypropylene resists UV breakdown reasonably well for several years of outdoor service, though prolonged direct sun exposure will eventually cause some colour fade. Bring lids indoors during off-season to extend service life through Canadian winters.

The green lid pairs with the matching gray polypropylene lid for trash to create a colour-coded two-stream sorting station. Browse the broader kitchen supplies range for bins, liners, and accessories.
