rinse, not wash.

the recycling center washes them so it would be a waste of water.

I usually rinse. Helps keep away bugs.

what? recycle? j-k. I usually rinse also, to keep away the ants that seem to have moved in.

I've recently started washing them in the dishwasher (due to my mouse problem) and I wondered if that was weird. It appears it is indeed weird and bad for the earth. Damn.

What's recycling?

Dan said...

Sometimes rinse, never wash.

John said...

Leslie, isn't washing your recyclables in the dishwasher sort of defeating the purpose of being enviro friendly?

Cate said...

rinse. sometimes i don't even do that!

John: It totally defeats the purpose. It's amazing what a mouse infestation will cause you to do.
