Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
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%26#039;d be surprised what people put in the boxes some cases half full cans of food they take it

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
PLASTIC FREE.

yes. if the bottle hasn%26#039;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.
