First, most people are lazy and will just chuck it. But second, if my experiences are any indication, recycling centers don't look kindly on food waste or grease. So yes, I suppose someone could clean this well and then recycle it properly, but I wonder how much that actually happens. This is a disposable product with a PR spin. And not from Kirkland, but from China. Also, it gets really hot underneath... they are banned in Berlin, and one of the PR photos shows it unlit atop a plastic tablecloth. They've been around in Europe for years, and are a real garbage problem in parks. Get something like the Weber Go-Anywhere, which is portable, can be reused many times, and is deep enough for more than one layer of charcoal.
