Are you environmentally friendly with your recyclables?

It’s understandable to rinse out the messy food cans before disposing, but do you take the time to rinse/flatten the bulky plastic containers and aluminum cans for curbside recycling pickup? In my area recycling has been getting strict in the last month. There are inspectors that check the neighborhoods from house to house to see if all recyclables are in the correct cart because all it takes are some neighbors that are not concerned about recycling.
