Question:

Does a glass container from the larger size Yankee Candle go in my recycle bin or garbage?

I know the things that go in the recycle bin are supposed to be clean of residue but the wax that's left in the bottom is not gonna come out without a serious fightSo how am I quot;supposed toquot; dispose of it? The recycle bin or my regular garbage can?NOTE: My town recycles by putting all recyclable items in one rectangular plastic bin that is provided by the townI know all towns/states are different but in general what do you think the policy is? THANKS!

Answer:

My advice for getting the wax out is the exact opposite of the other answer! Line a small pan with aluminum foil (the pan should have a rim so the melted wax doesn't run all over the oven), turn the jar upside down and put it in a very low oven (200 degrees F or less) until the wax heats upYou don't have to wait for all the wax to melt - just until it heats enough to loosen it from the side of the jarIt's easy and efficient - and the scent will permeate your kitchenThen, when it all cools down, you can recycle the jar Added: I understand what you were asking, but what is acceptable varies by municipalityIf you remove the wax, the problem is solved and you can recycle the jar.
I would guess that a pair of shorts consisting entirely of hemp knots are going to be so uncomfortable you couldn't wear them for longConsider weaving hemp cloth, then making shorts (or whatever you'd like) from it.
