Do you wash your recycling plastic, glass, aluminum before you put it in the recycle bin?
Seems kind of contrary to the point of recycling if you wash it with the wasted water and soap and energy for heating the water. However, it is somewhat disgusting to have bacteria gathering in cans and jars in your recycle bin for the week.
Anybody have any good solutions (or opinions) on this?
I usually give them a quick rinse, but I don’t wash them like the dishes. It seems cleaner, but is probably not necessary. Anyway, all water is recycled. Water is a renewable resource that gets recycled by rain falling.
