How do you keep your recycling bin clean without having to rinse everything first?

[RhythmNBooze]

Do you put in a liner and change it every time you empty it? I'm fed up of the baked bean juice, chopped toms, yoghurt leftovers ending up smeared all over the place [boak]

It's a lot of water waste for all the rinsing I feel.

I do rinse though but it's not that green when so much wasted surely?

"It's a lot of water waste for all the rinsing I feel."

No it isn't. Anything that requires rinsing gets done when the dishes are washed. Although we have a dishwasher we still have stuff that needs handwashing.

Were in a mixed recycling county and the recycling doesn't have to be cleaned. I do rinse tins and stuff though if it stinks

I think people underestimate how much energy goes into producing packaging if they think swilling out tin cans before recycling them might seriously undo the savings made by actually recycling.

Everything gets washed once all the crockery has been done. Left to dry then goes in the recycling bin. No smelly contaminated bean juice bins here!

Sorry, but you sound like minger!
