Do you clean cans, jars etc. before putting them in the recycling bin?

It's your house/yard. Do you want unwashed cans and bottles attracting wildlife? Or worse?

I'd do it for this reason alone, but my city requires the recyclables to be cleaned anyway.

Some cities have convenient curbside recycling. My city is way behind in progress, so I take my recycling in lawn bags to the Recycling Center once every 2 weeks. Kind of a fun activity, have been doing it for years. Have not yet lived in a city where it can just be put curbside to be picked up.
