You need to separate most materials in order to recycle them. The plastic of a lid is different from that of a bottle which are both different from a wrapping. Separating materials is key to successful recycling. A lot of times stuff can't get recyled because people don't separate it before throwing it away.
Or you could just use, you know, reusable materials.
Separation requirements vary. In the UK, plastic bottle caps are generally tethered to the bottle now to prevent people from separating them.

I think you are on to something, mr Whistleblower. Keep digging and call Greta when you have drawn conclusions! In the meantime, move stealthily, they may be watching! :-)
Do people not enjoy ripping the paper off of plastic water bottles? This looks like the same kind of fun to me.
Quicker to just throw it in the fire place... ya know?

Milk should come in bags, there I said it
We used to get it in glass bottles, and the bottles would be reused (not melted down).
Just a shame getting it that way costs about 3-4 times as much as a big four pint plastic jug from Tesco.

So, do you just throw the bag in the fridge? How is it stored?
Throw the 4L bag in the fridge. Remove one of the three inner 1.3 L bags, and place it in the dedicated milk bag holder that every household has:
Snip the corner, pour yourself a glass, and enjoy!
How do you close the milk bag? Surely you can't leave it open wouldn't that shorten the milks lifespan, right?
Milk and other raw foods generally won't spoil any faster unwrapped Vs wrapped in a fridge. Wrapping is mostly to stop odour transfer and other physical contaminants. The lid of a milk jug would be functionally similar to wrapping a glass of milk with plastic wrap.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm guessing it just gets used fast enough. They are smaller than what most Americans buy.
