Even a single dirty sauce or milk can contaminate other items in the recycling bin. For successful recycling, it’s crucial that recyclables remain uncontaminated throughout the entire process.
By taking a moment to rinse all bottles, cans, and containers before placing them in the recycling bin, you ensure they are properly prepared for recycling. This practice helps prevent contamination of other materials and improves overall recycling rates.
Additionally, a benefit of keeping recyclables clean is that your recycling collection area will be less likely to attract rats or insects, contributing to a cleaner and safer environment.
