You be the judge: should my girlfriend stop letting the recycling pile up?

Robin keeps used packaging on the kitchen ledge. Benny thinks that’s unhygienic. You decide who’s talking rubbish

You be the judge: should my girlfriend stop letting the recycling pile up?

TL;DR

  • Benny is concerned about flies and smells from recycling stored on a kitchen ledge.
  • Robin finds the ledge practical due to limited kitchen space and infrequent trips to the communal bins.
  • Benny suggests rinsing cans immediately and storing recycling in a container, which Robin finds impractical.
  • Robin believes Benny exaggerates the unsanitary conditions and that she does make an effort to recycle.
  • The core of the dispute lies in differing opinions on hygiene, practicality, and the definition of 'reasonable' accumulation of recycling.
