Now they make them so you can`t cut the bottoms off and take off the labels and rinse them out and flatten. Did not mind doing all that and they took up so little space that way.

We have tried to get people to recycle them here in the mobile home park but management does not want the mess by the dumpster.

Pat moor, I remember doing that but how long ago I can't think. Somewhere between 1973 and 1980.
I used to bash the hell out of all the tins after having rinsed them and it was really quite satisfying. As you say, they took up so little space.

Remember? We still do. Put them in the recycling bin every week, they come around and pick it up. Just have to wash out any food debris. labels stay on, and do not have to flatten them or cut the bottoms off. Simple, easy, no problems. Same with paper, plastics and such. I do save my aluminum cans and plastic bottles and take them in myself,to can./plastic recycling places, and I get money back. After all I have paid a CDF fee at the store when I buy them.

I wash mine out and throw them in the recycling bin afterwards. Here in Toronto they take all the recycling together, so cans can be mixed with paper, mixed with juice boxes, mixed with plastic....they have recycling centers where the separation is done by others.
As it stands I don't know HOW I am expected to get 6 bags worth of recycling into ONE (extra large) container, once the new "container laws" come into place?! Of course, it will be THEN that they also bring in the "charge per bag of overflow" law as well.....
Maybe I should invest in a trash compactor, and pass my recycling through that before putting it in the bin?

I remember my grandparents taking their sweet corn to a lady who canned it. The cans were washed, saved and returned the next year when she canned for them again.

I never heard of that. Maybe, it's location. We incinerated our garbage when we lived in Los Angeles. Cans and all!

As they say "You can't get good help any more".
Is the new "x generation" a "me" generation?
