True or False? You don’t need to rinse food containers before recycling them.
❌ FALSE! Rinsing matters! Clean containers can help reduce contamination which is a main factor into a high recycling rate
✅ Give containers a rinse- just enough to get any chunks of food residue off

We love a goooood system. ✅
Create your at-home sorting system to ensure it’s easy to drop your flexible plastics and foam at the depot or London Drugs store on your next outing. ♻️
These are some sorting systems we like! 🥰
