I have been putting old Brillo pads in recycling for years

Then I read you shouldn’t……. Also some plastics and paper gets diverted to landfills or burning , it’s getting to the point it’s easier to just throw everything away.

You aren`t wrong. Now Brillo pads being very fine steel wool will rust away quickly if you bury them in your garden. You`ll be adding iron to the soil. ;)

@FreeSpirit1 Exactly. Makes no sense to me either. Once the soap is gone I toss my SOS pads in the garden.
