There is a hack to get the plastic grinder off the top of these. I'm going to refill it with some sea salt I happen to have in the cabinet, but other things are possible to be ground in these. When it wears out I'll pull the top off for recycling.
In short, if you take a dull, rounded tip knife such as a classic butter knife, slide it up under the plastic lip, and start twisting the top, you'll stretch the plastic just enough to get it off. If care is used and you're watching what you are doing you will be able to snap it back on. The knife has to get past the glass lip. There are two of them, the first is there to prevent you from doing this little hack. The plastic bead that locks the top on sits between two glass lips. You need to wiggle the knife past the one you see and coax the plastic over the other one. Once you get it off you'll understand. Just remember you're prying with a metal knife against glass!
