Arch, talking, as you were, of bottle tops, in the "Mini garden" thread, have I told you that bottle tops can be recycled at Lush shops? That is the cosmetics, shampoo etc shop. They take the non-flexible type of screw-on or flip-top tops. (As opposed to the flexible ones like on Bird's custard powder.) If you have lots of them to get rid of, they could be recycled in that way. You might still want to keep the very bright, very colourful ones, but still there are only so many ways to use bottle tops. Some charities also take the milk bottle tops.
