Ever wonder whether it's ok to throw the top in with the bottle? Whether you need to peel off the label?
Wonder no further because the government's Energy Information Administration's site for kids, Energy for Kids has a recycling guide with many answers.
(You may scoff that you need something more sophisticated than a schoolkid guide, but chances are that if you're decorating an apartment or home right now, you're probably too old to have been exposed to a green curriculum in your school days, so at least some of this will be new.)
Please follow the guide's instructions to only give your local recycler the kinds of plastics it accepts! Just dropping in everything and hoping for the best either raises the recycling center's costs (to pick it out) or ruins the entire load for recycling.
