I’d argue this point is nullified given recycling and trash live next to each other for pick-up (at least in the US). If your bins don’t seal to keep scent away, they’ll be targeting the trash cans anyways.

I'm Canadian, and in my municipality, we have recycling (cardboard, plastic, glass), compost (food matter), and garbage (pretty much anything that can't be recycled.

The compost bins are sealed, so pests are never a concern. I don't have issues with open recycling bins, but did before I learned how to actually recycle stuff. My garbage bags never have issues, since they don't have food in them.

I can see issues in places that don't offer such a robust garbage/recycling program.

In parts of the world where clean drinking water is at a premium and increasingly more so, (like the western half and soon 2/3 of the US) it definitely matters to conserve the water we need to live whenever possible.

100% agree. It frustrates me to have to clean something that's going to be thrown out, but if you're strategic about it, you can find ways to do this with very minimal impact on water use.

Not to go off track, but I found that since I've been cooking my own beans, making my own non-dairy milk, and relying less on packaged good, my recycling bins are nearly empty every week. Reducing or reusing is often much better for everyone than recycling.
