Milk Bottle Tops recycling

When I was a boy, when I were a lad, milk bottle tops were carefully collected by schoolchildren and were taken to school where they miraculously transmogrified into dogs for the blind - I think that is what happened.... Many probably think that recycling is something new but I also recall that brown sacks were left by the dustmen (yes, that is what they were called, no politically correct titles) for householders to put their newspapers into for collection the following week - so a culture of socially responsible care for the environment and caring for others did exist in the dark ages before you, young reader, were born.
