Hello

Very simple. Recycle person open and throw the water and crushed and send for recycle.

Remove all plastic Bottle/Bags/Cups/Plates from your Hose/Office and declare your House/Office as

Answer 2

it really should not matter the blue box items in our pick up get dumped into the same truck and dumped onto a conveyor line and sorted with all the bumping and grinding a glass bottle would get broken and I have a hard time having anyone being able to pick out of the conveyor a full container of anything,once sorted it all gets compressed and bailed anything full would be crushed open by now.My buddy works on a collection truck you'd be surprised what people put in the boxes some cases half full cans of food they take it

Answer 3

yes.  if the bottle hasn't been opened or emptied completely then the recycling center will have to send it to the landfill.  even if it is in a plastic bag.
