Wrong.

Absolutely, you should recycle this plastic food container.

If you've been following the series, you know by now there should be no food left in the container and it should be clean. Don't worry about removing the paper label.

If there was flimsier plastic wrapping the meat inside the container, throw that away.

Along the same lines, those plastic strawberry or blueberry containers you get from the grocery story should be treated the same way. Clean them out and they can be recycled. Again, if there's a label, leave it on.

The same goes for takeout lunch containers as long as they aren't plastic foam (similar to Styrofoam). Recycle the plastic ones, toss the foam ones.
