Yup - we get through 7 - 8 tins a day, so rinsing and recycling is a must.

Seems like I'm the only one with a dishwasher :rolleyes:
I've not washed a pot in at least the last 5 years

I wash mine out when i do the washing up too, we have a recycling bin with fortnightly collections, i can put drinks bottles in too without the lids, as well as card paper boxes.

that's what I do. On a water metre and trying to be green too.

I do that too. I don't fill a bowl especially. I make sure every bit of food is cleaned off, including the rim of the cans, but my sponges are always cut because of it. I also take off the labels. I have nowhere but the kitchen to keep the recycling box so I need to wash everything.
