If you drink a cold beer with a lime and you squeeze the lime into the bottle, can you recycle it? When it comes to small food waste in your recyclables, a lime wedge is totally fine. In the recycling process, glass bottles are collected, crushed and melted; any residual waste (limes, labels, caps) is sorted out or incinerated. So go ahead and enjoy your drink -- just be sure to recycle it when you're done.
