For putting recyclables in the dishwasher

[PolaDeVeboise]

rather than just rinsing under the tap?

I do if there’s room in the DW, it saves water by not rinsing them under the tap.

I don't have a dishwasher but I don't see why it would be a problem as long as you are putting it on anyway and just squeezing in some recycling. If you were just doing a load with a few bits of recycling then I assume it would waste more water and energy than washing by hand (but I know washing machines are much more economical than they used to be, so maybe dishwashers are too - I don't know).

I stick tins (baked beans, tomatoes) in the dishwasher in the little bits of space left.

The advice where I am is that recyclables can be thrown out dirty and there is no need to wash them at all. There are big posters all over town advertising this.

I never wash them

I also don't wash them out.

I put mine through the dishwasher, our area wants them cleaned and sometimes it’s a pain to wash them!

I put glass jars in the dishwasher if there's room.

I don't wash mine either.
