Precisely. Just last week, I threw out a glass empty peanut-butter jar. I used to go to the trouble of cleaning it; and then, putting it into the recycle bin. Not doing that anymore. They aren't recycling. So why should I bother?
I flat out refuse to play the silly recycling game. We have a city provided blue wheeled recycling bin. It gets used in the fall. It’s huge and holds lots of leaves. Otherwise it resides behind my shed.
Recycling is a colossal waste of time and money. I refuse to pay for water and sewage to rinse out and pre-clean my garbage.
I simply throw it away.
