I recycle❣ I rinse mine, remove paper and put in our blue recycling bin.
A garbage man in our family who lives & works out of town told us at a family gathering that we do all that work for nothing. He said it all goes in the same place and not really recycled. I still do it but thinking about notifying someone to investigate. It would be a good story to follow the recycling from your kitchen to the recycling bin, to the garbage man and follow him❗
I try to recycle as I don’t like to see things go to waste or used once and then just thrown in the trash! If I can reuse something or repurpose it or turn it in for someone else to recycle and put it to a new use, I am more than happy to do that. Hopefully, as we contine to recycle, we can figure out better ways to repurpose the materials without creating more energy use. If it ends up that we use more energy to repurpose recycled materials, we really aren’t conserving anything.
