I know they’re supposed to be good for the environment but… God I hate those caps.

    Very odd. Where I live you’re not supposed to return the bottles with the cap, they’re different plastics and the recyclers don’t want the caps. You’re supposed to throw the caps away in the regular trash.

      What? So how do you get the little ring off that that rips off the cap when twisting it the first time? You just peel it off with a knife every time? You also need to peel the labels off then?

      Which is weird, because most places can just sort the PET shreds from different plastic for decades now.

        My town has stream recycling so we don’t even have to separate cardboard, plastic, and aluminum. I just chuck it all in the bin and let it be someone else’s problem.

        I leave the little ring on and nobody’s complained yet. I was just told to remove the caps one time, so I kept on throwing those out since then.
