    I need to clean it to a concerning degree as well or risk being fined.

    Also, where do those burned plastic fumes go after being burned also matter and I’m not confident they’re not just being sent straight back to my lungs.

      I don’t have a problem with cleaning tbh. It’s not required here but I just feel icky if I put a yogurt stained container into the bin.

      With burning, it must be done at very high temperatures to ensure the resulting gasses get burned as well. Here I generally ment collect plastic and send it to a facility which has furnaces which can accommodate this kind of waste (like rubber tires).
