Are we cutting these?

It’s just gonna end up in a landfill anyway. Plastic recycling is mostly a sham. We used to just ship it to China to get burned but they stopped doing that, so now we just burn or bury it here.

It could fall onto the ground during transfer from bin to truck and get washed into the drains and then to the watershed.

How many times can they reasonably be reused? I carry a six-pack from the bottom as I don't trust the lock mechanism not to set a can loose unexpectedly.

Those are recyclable but I still cut the old six pack rings even though I live in a completely landlocked state that I’m certain isn’t putting garbage in the ocean.

I don't see how that could get caught around an animal's mouth or neck.

I'll take a duck's intelligence over the average human

I don’t know man. I’ve raised ducks and I’m in a rural red area. Their stupidity is pretty much the same for some of them.

I’m not bougie enough to buy beer with these. But I still cut my PBR rings.

Nah. We're taking them back to the place we got them from

Oofda. I have put myriad of these in the recycling without even thinking about it. I buy local beer, so I’ll ask around, but I have the feeling I’m going to have to buy a stronger pair of kitchen scissors henceforth.

We are saving them to put on top of our unfinished soda or beer cans.

Fuck. I’ve clocked like almost 3k different beers on Untappd. I’ve recycled a LOT of these. Now I feel bad because I never thought to cut them like the soda plastics

No? I'm actually so glad to learn via this thread that they can be reused, I'll be asking around in my area for who can take them.

Our brewery takes them but we do cut them into circles to use a caps in the summer to keep flies out of cans. Great for the pool.

I always give them back before I leave the brewery or Farmer’s Market. If purchased in a grocer I save them to give back a brewery

I worked at a brewery, we just took them back. Tons of customers would bring them back for us. We would organize by color, clean and sanitize, and they were good to go again. Some get a lil worn out, then become recyclables.
