Each week I'll think of a new question, and make a post about it including my own answer. The poll will be up on the sidebar, and when the poll closes I'll make a post about the results.
And just so we all know: these questions are going to be totally random. Just whatever I'm wondering on any particular day. First up:
Are Netflix envelopes recyclable?
I'm about 50-50 on this one. They're fairly 'waxy'. Or at least somehow manage to feel waxy without being so, which might make them plasticy. Either way, that makes them non-recyclable. But it might just be some kind of differently milled paper, which does make it recyclable. Sometimes I recycle, but I usually trash it. It depends if I'm passing by the trash or recycling as I tear off the flap.
What do you do? Do you throw them away because you're lazy sometimes? tell me I'm not alone!

I'm assuming you're talking about the red envelope, and not the pretty clearly plastic white thing the DVD sits in.
I think the red envelopes are made of paper. I think this because they tear like paper should. That's actually usually my test when I'm trying to decide whether a paper-like object is recyclable or not (it happens a lot with junk mail).
So, recycle!!
