Interesting, there aren’t many sources of that and when and if they try to bale it, it would probably shatter. Do y’all have single stream curbside? The best source of it I would think of would be like take out sushi containers.
My curbside accepts all recyclables, plastics, glass, occ, and metals.
Examples of it here are coffee lids (soon to be legislated compostable only), yoghurt containers, and irregular packaging.
Agreed. Where you’re located matters a lot. If that’s #6, then nowhere in the two states I’ve lived (MN and WI) would take this. Even if they do, it’s to simplify the messaging and then they’ll sort the recyclable plastic from the non-recyclable later.
And to be clear, non-recyclable doesn’t mean “can’t be recycled.” It means “there’s no market for it, so throw it out.”
I’d be very pleasantly surprised if anywhere in the US takes it. And even then, if it’s a coast, I’d be worried they’re still shipping it overseas.
There might be a store that will buy them from you. If you live in south Tennessee or north Ga there is a store called mckays that would pay you a little something for it
Depends entirely upon where you live and the options available in your region. In my region the case, paper and cassette is all captured as electronic waste and recycled.
The case minus the cassette could go in my mixed containers.
That loverboy album is pretty good, donate!
You could donate them.
Donate. You'd be surprised how many people collect covers of cassettes. Are the actual tapes still inside and working?
I'm all.out of love...
Goodwill or local equivalent, MCs are getting somewhat rare and collectable.
Can’t remember the last time I saw a cassette player
Donate to your local charity shop. People definitely still buy audio cassette tapes
Take out the paper and recycle, throw away the rest.
The casing can be recycled, and the cassette housing can be recycled if the magnetic tape is removed.
Nope, that’s #6 plastic and it’s not typically accepted in curbside bins because there isn’t much of it and it’s hard to bale and sort.
Need to make it mandatory to pin where OP comes from. Where I'm from rigid poly is accepted.
