I always crush my water bottles down till they’re flat, then screw the cap back on tight so they stay that way. Not because I have to, but because I care...

I thought I was the only one that did that. They take up less room in the trash that way. I do milk cartons and detergent bottles the same way.

I'm not trying to save money on trash bags - I'm the trash taker outer and it means fewer trips for me.

I hear that! Every time I crush a water bottle and cap it, if there's someone nearby, I tell them, "there, I've done my part for the environment!".
