I drive a lot. I get thirsty when I'm on the go. The easy thing to do when filling up is to just take your empties and toss them in the garbage can next to the gas pump. You kno what? It's just as easy - and a lot easier on the environment - if you just save your cans and botles until you can PROPERLY recycle them, either at home or at work. It literally takes seconds, and saves precious (and rapidly dwindling) landfill space. I wish I could say I've been recycling my empties since I started driving more than 20 years ago...but I've turned over a new leaf. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!
