Trying to be a good recycling citizen...

[sparr0.livejournal.com]

If I've determined that removing a certain food residue (peanut butter from the walls of a jar, dried cheese from a paper to-go container, etc) is not something I am invested enough in being a good person to do... should I put it in the trash or recycling?

When I have water in the sink leftover from washing dishes, I just throw the dirty containers in there and let them soak.

But if you aren't into doing that, I vote for trash instead of recycling.

I'm posting this because I've found that soaking isn't helping with peanut butter or sour cream or cream cheese, at all.

Fill peanut butter jar with warm water. Add a few drops of dish soap. Cap. Let soak overnight. Shake vigorously. Dump out soapy water and peanut butter curds.
