Is it better to recycle or compost?

Asked by Nimis (13255points) October 23rd, 2011 from iPhone

Say you’ve got a dirty (recyclable) food container.

Is it better to:
A. Clean it off and put it in the recycling bin?
OR
B. Is it better to put it right into the compost bin?

It takes less energy Go, worms! Go! to compost than to recycle, right? But I don’t think food containers really add much to the actual quality of the compost…

Enlighten a nubie composter, eh?
