half a year of milk deliveries

This is what 6 months of waste from the milk in our house looks like:  Just the metal bottle tops.  All the bottles get cleaned and reused by the milk round.  Switching to a milk delivery was one of the easiest things I did when starting my plastic free journey 6 months ago.  We are lucky enough to live on a milk round and it is completely hassle-free.  It's also plastic free with very little waste.  The only negative thing is the cost: it is almost twice the price of shop milk.   If you are doing Plastic Free July this could really help reduce your plastic waste. 


The big question is what to do with all the bottle tops?  I can't bring myself to put them in the recycling as they are so nice and perfectly formed pieces of foil.  Maybe a craft project at some point - a scarecrow for discouraging the birds from the seeds?  Any thoughts?
