How do I recycle my old recycling bin?

I bought a recycling bin many many years ago before recycling became popular. They city has recently given me a much nicer one. I keep leaving the old one inside the new one, but they never take it away.

  1. It’s probably already made of recycled plastic, and the more you re-recycle plastic the less useful it becomes. Plastic is made of long-chain polymers, but recycling (which involves heating and chopping and grinding) shortens the chains.

    At this point it is probably best used as a planter or as a storage bin for the junk you won’t need until after you throw it away.

    Make sure you keep your recycling bin on a bottom shelf, or at the base of a mountain so you don’t use up all the gravity. Remember, there’s a gravity shortage.

  2. you just made me pee my pants….i honestly have no idea

  3. Throw it in the trash. That’s what most people do. Well… I would

  4. i’ve had the same question. I always leave bigger plastics out for them to take and either the trash truck takes it, or it just gets left there. Maybe if you take a piece of paper and write in magic marker "please take with recycling" on it and tape it to your old recycling bin so it can be seen by the truck driver they might take it.

  5. leave a note on it and away it goes
