I hate to trash them. Also, what about carseats...they expire after a certain amount of years. any idea what I can do with the big plastic playthings? ie toddler cars,backyard houses etc and all those big ugly kids toys. some things I have are too worn out to sell at yardsales or even donate.

I actually live in the people's republic of Montgomery, I mean, Montgomery County -- good to know the people answering the phones at the division of solid waste know what they are talking about. :) So, do they take them at the big recycling center on 355 across from King Farm? I don't mind dropping them off, just need to know where to take them! Thanks again! :) Thanks!

I know that you can take your #5 plastic (yogurt containers)to the Montgomery County or Carroll County. If you are in a bind, you can drop them off at a store, and I can pick them up and take them to the center by our Rockville store. I work out of the central office, and would be happy to take them up to the recycling center for you. try the web site though, as it is pretty helpful. good luck! greg Katherine,

Here's one that has stumped me -- where can we take items that are coded for recycle, but local (as in County) recycling centers won't take? I even called the County division of solid waste to find out if there was a drop-off location where you could take coded plastics that didn't have necks, and was told "no." So, any ideas? I'm about to drown in yogurt tubs here!! Great list — thanks for sharing the info.

Glad you found it useful, and I hope you have great New Year. I thought it was a great list myself, and learned a couple things I did not already know.
