New to recycling

So we have been really good about recycling for the first time. We aren't composting yet but plan to solve that issue soon but my one question is what to do with the plastic caps on the milk/juice/pop containers - are they recyclable? How about MrFreeze plastic?
Thanks in advance! |

| Welcome! To my knowledge, the caps are not recyclable. I'm not familiar with MrFreeze plastic, so I can't say. What is it? |

| MrFreeze are popsicles (??) they come in tube like plastic. |

| Most bottle caps are made from a different plastic to the bottle they came with, so they do not easily recycle with it. I just throw them out, but at one time various charities collected plastic milk bottle tops. Alternatively, plastic bottle tops make an excellent light-weight substitute for gravel in the bottom of plant pots. |

| That's a great idea! With two growing boys I go through plenty of milk/juice etc, so I have lots of caps. Thanks! |

| Wow, that is a good idea! No, unfortunately, those caps are usually not recyclable. I use the tops from soda bottles as pot feet - you know, to hold up my containers off the patio. I stick them a bit underneath so they are not visible. Not as nice as some of the fancy pot feet, but functional. :)
