Unpopular opinion: your recycling bin is the least useful thing in your house
I spent an hour last Saturday at the Denver recycling center tour and the guy walking us through said about 30% of what comes in gets pulled out and burned anyway because it's wet or mixed. What clicked for me is that rinsing and sorting feels like action but it's the smallest lever we have. I checked my own trash for a week and 60% of it was food scraps that could've gone in a compost bin. Cutting one beef meal a week does more than a month of careful sorting. So what have you actually cut back on that made a real dent, not just felt good?
