Recycle "old fashioned quaker oats" container?

Question

It says its recyclable. Its obvious the cardboard container is recyclable. But should i remove the lid, which has a plastic rim, before i recycle the container? It seems like a lot of work, if i had to do this for every one.

Answer 1

Its a lot of work to take the lid off and put it in the plastic container?  no wonder the earth is a giant land fill.

Answer 2

well, I would say if you are in doubt, you can for sure recycle the bottom portion with no questions.  Then if you don't want to remove the plastic rim, then throw it away.  It is certainly much better than throwing the whole thing away.
