don't just toss them! Freecycle them!
My tiny remote Southeast Alaska community has a pretty good recycling program, however, the only plastics we can recycle currently are the plastic milk jugs.
A couple months ago, I decided to save them for a while with the hope that maybe...just maybe...we'll be able to recycle plastics soon. They keep saying they are working on it.
Anyway, I was running out of storage space so I decided to freecycle them before tossing them in the trash and the same day I listed, I had two teachers email me that they can use them in their classrooms. I have enough that I will be able to give each a couple dozen containers.
SO, if you're like me and you have no choice but to toss those plastics since you don't reuse them yourself (I prefer glass), try freecycling them first or call your local schools and preschools.
