Just like papers, most plastics are recyclable. Since the plastic never biodegrade in landfills, it is highly recommended to recycle as much plastics as we can. Make sure to recycle plastic water bottles, milk cans or jars, bags, detergent containers, toys, plastic hangars, broken trash cans, shelves, baskets, rain ponchos, compact discs CDs, video tapes, and DVDs.

Give away unbroken toys or any plastic items that someone else can use instead of tossing them into the trash. There are organizations and people who are also willing to accept broken toys. For example, Happen Inc.’s Toy Lab in Cincinnati accepts broken toys to help kids create new toys out of these broken toys. Also, cdrecyclingcenter.com accepts unwanted or broken CDs and DVDs.
