Sahara asked:


I sprayed them with Lysol. But it didn’t seem to do anything. I’m wary of touching it. I should probably buy gloves? Anyone have experience with cleaning mold? Should I just get rid of the recycling bins and start anew?
I’ll do that. I’ll just get rid of them. I should have just done that.
I never would have thought of vinegar. I might try that because I don’t want anyone to get sick.

Franzia Kafka asked:


Mom always told me to scrape the labels off pickle jars and peanut butter containers and soup cans before recycling. Why? What happens at the recycling factory if you don’t?

And how about recycling paper – do you have to remove staples? Why?
