How can I reuse or recycle milk bottle tops?
We’ve had another email from Lyndall, asking:
i was wondering if you knew what i could do with the foil top of milk bottles?
I remember a Blue Peter fundraising appeal from circa 1985 that involved us collecting them for charity but now charities – like Southampton’s Gift of Sight appeal – seem to collect plastic ones instead.
Since they’re just foil, they can be recycled along with other foil products – we can include it in our doorstep recycling.
But what about reuses?

When I was growing up, we used to thread them onto strings to act as bird-scarers for the vegetable patch.
Enough of them could make a garland for Christmas because of the colours.
we collect plastic caps, lids, taps for charity. we will sell them and donate money to Lions to build a school for disability children.
Where?

Tights make very good ties for tying up garden palnts – particularly climbing roses. They contain without hatming the plants!
Coat hangers are always in demand at your local Charity shops
Random bits of crockery are what many people use for mosaic work; maybe a local college or school would be glad of them?
