The bonus question of the day: Should you recycle the plastic tops and caps with the other packaging?

Well, no. Lids are not typically made of the same plastic as the packaging. And in the recycling business, the two types of plastic can not be mixed. Something about contamination. The lids and caps can jam recycling machinery and containers with lids still on may not compact properly.

So throw those lids and tops away.
