No, we don't.
We burn the paper or use it for something else. A burn barrel is a handy thing and cuts down on identity theft.
We don't drink soft drinks very often, and when we do- it's from glass and the lady down the road has a studio where she uses them in her art glass. Even if we commit the most heinous of sins such as break a Mason jar, it goes in the bucket for her.
Milk jugs and plastic bottles of any kind usable are kept for planters until they just disintegrate.
I keep just about every box and use them for something, or use them in the garden to put down in between rows so as to keep from packing the dirt too tight- they just turn right in in the fall and disintegrate.
I view it as my trash- they sure ain't gett'n in back for free- I'll use it or someone is going to pay for it to get it back.
Tires also make good planters if you cut them in half around the tread and open them up so they look like a flower bloom- we plant rhubarb in them that way.
I take that back, I have returned batteries- but you get a credit on them...so that doesn't count.
My wife finds a use for just about everything else. I don't think some people would like my place, because I've found so many secondary uses for items that most people throw away.
Did I mention that we even wash the tinfoil and plastic bags? One of those $2.00 battery operated resealers makes a good addition to the cupboard too.
