Recyclers accept all plastics and sort them at the site.
As suggested, separate all plastics for recycling.
Thanks for the consideration.

YOU DON'T!!! If there's no # or any symbol on the plastic, recycling plants won't accept it & usually throw them into garbage dumps.
HOWEVER- remember the 3 R's! Reduce...Reuse...Recycle
Many items can be reused in your day to day life without sending it to the dump.
Suggestion regarding this issue:
Public pressure toward producers of excessive packaging is needed to Reduce the amount of throw away junk humans have created. If we don't force corporations making such packaging to change, we're headed for more trouble, cause many recycling business's don't like it to be known, that if the price of materials collected is too low for a profit... they merely toss the collected recycling you give into a landfill already!
RECYCLING ISN'T THE FINAL ANSWER! IT'S ONLY A BANDAID TO A GROWING PROBLEM! ATTITUDES MUST CHANGE ABOUT DISPOSABLE ITEMS, CAUSE OUR POPULATION ISN'T GETTING ANY SMALLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

draw your own lil triangle with arrows, and put some number in the middle of it, then write like "HDPE","LDPE","PS","V"or"PTFE" under it, and put it in the recycling bin.

Unfortunately, if there's no triangle and number, it is trash. Please throw it away.
