Exciting! What I want to know is how clean do the containers need to be? Like should we rinse them?
They just need to be empty. You'd probably be wasting water by rinsing them.
And you can’t crush them.
That means that you can only carry a limited quantity to the recycling depot at a time (unless you have a very large truck). It would probably cost more in fuel and resources to transport than you would get paid for them.
I really hope this is not just another case of greenwashing, but I have a feeling that this program was designed to fail.
