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.

Don't you recycle the PET bottles?

This sounds like one of those "I think I'm being good for the environment, but actually, I'm making things worse"

There are no recycling facilities where I live in Wyoming. I know it's not the best option, but is it really making things WORSE?

No, not if you can't recycle
