while we’re on this topic what the fuck do you do with the tops of cans? that shits sharp af, i try to leave them attached/bent in so theyre not just like loose ninja stars but surely they break off… sorry to anyone who has to deal with garbage i genuinely dunno wtf to do
Get a different can opener. They make them now that don’t leave sharp edges at all.
I was thinking about ring-pulls though. As my fingers can attest, those are plenty sharp and I often think they must present a hazard to disposal workers but idk what to do about it
Ah yeah, I see. I just cram them back into the can, fwiw.
yes but I do wonder if it really matters
where I am all the recycling is mechanically dumped into a truck with enough force that there is no way that a significant amount of the glass isn’t broken by the process
Half of the time the recycling pickup in my neighborhood leaves random broken glass in the street. Super cool!
Usually, but sometimes a random mess has me forgetting in the moment.
Yeah I do, in a bag or sth but not loose. Never thought about it for the dumpster divers but for the guys who have to throw those bags around. But here it’s recyclable
I also wrap razor blades in cardboard
if I see a box like this I’m assuming it has treasure and immediately shoveling it’s contents into my mouth without checking it first
I dump all of mine at the beach when I take my old car batteries to feed the eels
Oh you’re where we get all the sea glass from
the beach is HUNGRY
I think glass goes in the recycling and the recycling centres don’t like it when you put stuff in other containers
I googled.
The bottom line is that recycling companies do not accept broken container glass.

Ninja edit. I just realized it’s surely US only info. Other places? I have no idea
Hmm, maybe they do want box glass. I’ll check, its something that rarely comes up (I usually have cans)
You should look up the disposal guidelines for sharp objects for your area
No need to slice up a sanitation worker’s hands for no reason
Broken glass
What it’s something really good but with a disguised label
You could try leaving your broken glass near your local police station
I just wrap shit like that in paper before binning it, more so at work where its more likely someone’ll dig through the bin
I do this for the sanitation workers. Dumpster divers are just a bonus I suppose.
yeah this is pretty real, especially with recycling where there’s more likely to be human intervention in processing that stream. I knew someone who worked in one of those places. It was a “here’s some inadequate PPE but the job is unachievable if you actually wear it all, you’ll get used to all the broken glass and needles” situation
… are we not supposed to put it in the recycling for some reason
my local recycling place doesn’t take glass
Whaaa that’s insane. Glass is a classico style recyclable
never thought of doing this but its pretty based actually
Death to America
Yes, chemistry class taught me to
