Did a google search on this subject, and low and behold, a couple threads on it. Since Kyoto was mentioning recycling, as in the plastic ketchup bottles, what better way to recycle these, but by refilling em.
You will need small screwdrivers, or as one suggestion in the threads i looked up, was a butter knife.
locate the glass lip.......this pic is fuzzy, but the following pic will clarify.
start by inserting the screwdrive str8 up
and pry out abit
the two thread i followed, said to twist a couple revolutions, and the cap will come off. I found that i had to use the screwdriver around the cap, prying as i went. gently.
VIOLA`
you can either refill with peppercorns, or other spices. I will post the links, as there is some discussion on what you can put in these. Also that the grinding mech. will wear out. But one fellow said, he's been using the same disposable grinder for several years. The plastic IS quit hard.
after filling the grinder, place the lid on top, and press down, till is snaps back in place.
One more glass container, kept outta the landfills for abit longer. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
Now for the two links.

on a side note, i tried this with a el cheapo plastic grinder, and didn't have success. Maybe one of you will have success, and report back.
