It seems to me that some at least used to, but now, flight attendants roam up and down in the economy cabin of domestic flights with enormous trash bags that everything goes into. Along to used-to line, meals used to be served with metal flatware that was washed and reused, but under the theory that terrorist might use forks and dinner knives to do their dastardly deeds, the TSA or perhaps the airlines themselves have mandated a switch to disposable plastic implements. Also, everyone gets a little salt and pepper packet, whether or not s/he uses these seasonings. I wonder how much of that gets tossed every year.
