Since when?
That was an exclusive we, not inclusive.
ISTM that recycling aluminum foil used in cooking (i.e., with food material still stuck to it) is likely to attract insects and other pests to wherever you’re storing it. That’s one reason I’ve never bothered to recycle foil.
Wouldn’t those same insects be attracted to wherever you are throwing the foil away?
In our house, trash goes in plastic trash bag inside a lidded can in the kitchen. Recycling goes in an open crate in the garage. I assume most people don’t put recycling in sealed cans or plastic bags.
Do you clean all of your cans/bottles before putting them into the recycle bin? I know that some people do, but I’m not one of those people.
Yes, I rinse them out first.
“Which is greener” can be difficult to answer.
When my brother’s son was gestating (he is 27 now) my brother obsessed over how best (in a green sense) to diaper the kid. He had two alternatives he was considering; disposable diapers or cloth diapers and a diaper service. Turns out the water/detergent used to launder cloth diapers was a huge negative, but disposables going into landfill was no picnic either.
I forget what he eventually decided.
