What do you do with used wine bottle corks and milk bottle lids?

We collect quite a few of both and am not sure if/how to recycle them.
THe local council doesn't collect foil and no local recycling point for cork.
Any ideas?
TIA

If you stand your corks up on end & glue them together you can make a cork board

Aren't milk bottle lids just foil?

KatyMac you are clearly more organised than me re the cork boards!
Yes the milk bottle lids are foil so we could take them to the recycling tip place, but I had an ideat that there were charities who collected them, though that could just be my imagination...

Our council does high temperature composting so I put corks in that. It's organic matter after all. Milk bottle lids get washed and recycled with foil. Not sure what to do with plastic 'corks' though.

i think guide dogs for the blind collect foil and therefore milk bottle tops. there is a box in our local library and i think that's who they are for.
