Here in Saint Paul, MN, the recycling rules are quite strict. Aluminum cans must be rinsed out and flattened. Rinsed out. Newspapers can't be just put in a bag...they HAVE to be tied in a bundle. Cardboard must also be tied in bundles.

I still recycle the newspapers and cardboard, but the cans go in the trash.

I still recycle the newspapers and cardboard,

Why?

[MeanWestTexan]

I don't recycle because the local recyler used part of the proceeds to support John Kerry.

LOL...ours are SUPPOSED to be rinsed out, too....but I kinda get a gleeful feeling throwing cans in recycle that haven't been rinsed.....It's my little rebellion....LOL.

Studies have shown that, generally, less energy is used if you just throw the paper away and they make new paper.

Please, help save our enviroment, stop recycling.
