How much plastic do you trash per day !?

• pixl97 4y ago
  In theory it could be very little by mass, but a large space by volume. There are are any number of clamshell plastic containers and Styrofoam replacements covered under this. Very hard to crush unless they remain under pressure. In a home they commonly require cutting into smaller pieces. If someone is running a small business from their house the amount of trash produced per day can be staggering.

      Where I live the recycling just says 'plastic' and you can (annoyingly) throw pretty much whatever you want in there without penalty. Recycling is very inconsist in the US.
