      not to the roaches… i learned that the hard way a few years ago.

      during covid, i left a couple of cases of empty bottles on my kitchen floor and didn’t think anything of them for a month or so. that’s how i found out my neighbors had cleanliness issues, and the roaches found out they had a new place next door to terrorize. horrible experience - don’t keep your empties in your apartment.

      Learned the trick. Quick, very quick, rinse in the sink, dunk it upside down in the drain. Rinse (heh) and repeat for the next can. Almost zero effort, clean cans for the recycling bag. I took a load the size pictured for recycling last month. No stink. Only got a lousy $100.10. :(

        I just empty them, put them in a crate, then every monday empty the kitchen crate into my garage sack. When they’re full i take 'em up to CDS
