The message
from Huge contains these words:

Don't forget you must wash out your empty cans and bottles with hot
water & detergent, too....

While discussing re-cycling plastic bottles, an old bat living round
here claimed that there's no problem with the bulk of them if you boil
them till they're floppy then you can squash them down easily.
