Can you recycle trigger spray bottles?
Recycling bin — bottle and trigger together, empty and rinsed
Cleaning-product trigger sprays (kitchen cleaner, glass cleaner) are recyclable at kerbside: empty and rinse the bottle and leave the trigger head attached — unlike pumps, most triggers are now accepted attached to the bottle. If your council specifically says remove triggers, bin the head. Never recycle bottles with liquid still inside.
Tips
- Leave the trigger on the bottle
- Buy refill pouches and keep one trigger bottle going
