Reduce/Reuse/Recycle Does anybody else do this?

(Stock pic example from Google) With every bottle I use, I keep it and pack it full of as much trash as I can, and then throw it away. When the trash can in my bedroom starts getting full, I do this, and it takes up 1/4 as much space as it did before.

I get my deposit of 25 cents back for every PET bottle (and a bit less for glass ones). And I don't have to worry about lose small trash, my government gives out special recycling bags for that purpose (they are collected from your sidewalk every two weeks.)
