Oh, yeah, for some reason those tops aren't normally recyclable. I use bottled (gallon jugs) water with a blue top. I noticed the tops had the little recycle triangles on them, so I started putting them in, and don't you know, the guys threw them all over the ground around the bin. My latest batch doesn't have the triangles, so I can only think they were put on by mistake.
