Assuming my municipality accepts it, are they actually being recycled?

I see them being touted as recyclable. However, it seems like it would be difficult and resource-intensive to recycle but I’m not a recycling expert.

    They’re marketed as being recyclable along with the cans that might appear at a picnic. Whether they actually get recycled is another question; I’ve seen more picnic shelters with recycling bins, but certainly not all.

    Some buyers in their online reviews said they were washing and reusing the cups instead of recycling them. I don’t know how effective that is but assume it’s fine. They would be a better choice than glass at places like pools where glass is prohibited.
