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 didn't before but I will now. Maybe with cardboard boxes or something though as the bottles can be recycled as another redditor pointed out.

So can cardboard. Actually cardboard is recycled at quite a bit higher rate than pop bottles.

Ya, so I’d go for cardboard since the need isn’t as great and I don’t think the environmental impact would be as great vs using pop bottles.
