Hi Rodney,
Thank you for your recycling enquiry.
Hand wash bottle pumps are not recyclable in kerbside recycling bins because they are made from mixed materials—metal and plastic—that cannot be easily separated. The metal can contaminate the plastic recycling stream, and vice versa.
Please dispose of cosmetic bottle pumps in your general waste bin.
We are continuously reviewing items like this to include in Recycle Mate’s database to assist others with similar questions. Feel free to reach out anytime with more recycling enquiries.
