Sorting, although it seems easy, is not always so. It often turns out that some elements may surprise us, especially when it comes to washing waste before throwing it away. Can you throw away dirty glass? Do you need to wash the jar before throwing it away? And what to do with a jar that still has some contents? Follow simple methods and you will protect the environment and save money.
Can you throw away dirty glass? Be careful not to waste water unnecessarily
Few people realize that glass, including jars, does not need to be washed before throwing it in the trash. All we have to do is empty them and they will be washed during the later recycling stage. It is also worth remembering that washing jars before disposing of them simply increases water consumption, which is not environmentally friendly and generates additional household costs that can be easily avoided. – Glass packaging absolutely does not need to be washed. Then they are mechanically cleaned by us. However, they must be emptied of their contents before being thrown away. So if we throw away the mayonnaise jar, it is important that it is not half full, said Piotr Krynicki from Krynicki Recykling SA in an interview with the portal.
Where to throw away the jar with its contents? Place it in this container
Importantly, it is better not to throw away the jar with its contents before emptying it. However, if you do not have this option, place it in a mixed waste container. If you can empty the jar, throw its contents into mixed waste, the jar into the glass container, and the metal cap into the plastic container. Thanks to this, you will take care of the environment and the future of future generations.
