a councillor from Boston said that
the hard plastic tops on milk bottles can't be recycled. We
are told to remove the tops and place in the recycling
seperately

I have known people who put collecting bags *just* for milk bottle
tops, in workplace kitchens, on the grounds they think they're
especially valuable as recycling material ...

Perhaps they've forgotten it was the tin-foil ones people collected for
Blue Peter?

But I see people do collect the plastic ones as a way of funding guide
dogs for the blind. 70,000 bin bags full for one dog, apparently.
