No, not if you are resourceful.

For instance, here empty cans are clean and
neatly put out for recycling on two specific days
each month. So you do not even need to bother
sorting garbage.

Where I live they are put in bins with other recyclables. Non-recyclable
waste is in a separate bin. It varies from local authority to local
authority.

We (the Fishers) use very few cans and never beans.
