Answer:

You should always recycle plastic. Plastics can take up to a thousand years or more to decompose. Recycled plastics can be made into thousands of different new products. The amount of water needed to recycle plastic is a minimal compared to the environmental impact recycling the plastic will have. If a drought were bad enough to shut down a recycling center, they could stockpile the products until the drought is over, or ship to a nearby facility that is unaffected by the drought. There's never a good reason not to recycle. And by the way, before you debate someone, you may want to check your spelling.
Recycling plastic uses a lot of energy. More than its worth. You can afford to wast energy in good times but cannot afford during a drought.
