    I'm curious as to other's opinions too...

    The SSCA 'clean wake' policy means bagging everything and dumping
    it through 'proper' channels when the time comes, except how can you trust
    governments, especially small, poor ones, to do the right thing with it?

    Personally I think paper and properly treated (compressed or cut open) cans
    will not cause harm at a reasonable depth. Cans can be recycled however, so
    we always bring them back to shore.

    Plastics can be recycled and should always be bought back to shore.

    Glass bottles should be recycled and not dumped of course, but are rare on
    cruising boats anyway.
