Just wondering since most containers have some type of recycle symbol on them.I came across one today that has no markings on it.
 
thats over thinking. if its plastic it can go either in the trash or the recycle bucket.
 
Sorry, I don't want to be accused of over thinking by YOU of all people.
 
I mean, I'd assume so as long as its just plastic. I've never really thought about this or second guessing recycling something.

What are they gonna do, hunt you down for trying? Lol.

I've never thought about it before either. I thought pretty much everything could be recycled.

Wouldn't surprise me if they did actually.In this city we actually have "trash police"...They will literally pick through random bins to make sure the proper items are placed in them.They can issue tickets if not and if the trash is not properly placed for pick up.

Lmao



Plastic has different polymer blends, some use different dyes and fillers, thus not ALL plastic is meant to be "recycled!" Thus why most have the recycle stamp on them, this was actually a very good question by kirch that got trolled as usual, however if you do throw unacceptable material in the bin it is sorted and processed quickly so its not that big of a deal.

Aww, too bad you didn't chime in earlier, I guess we led him down the wrong path. Oops.
