- rikroots 7y agoIn our household we wash our glass and metal packaging for recycling in the old-fashioned way, with water and suds in the sink alongside the rest of the post-dinner washing up. It's a lot quicker than a dishwasher, uses a lot less water and detergent, and quite relaxing and therapeutic in its own weird way. (Takes time out to shine halo)
