Most cities and municipalities have regulations governing the disposal of plastic waste. The best course of action is to separate plastics into categories based on the types of resin they contain and check with local landfill or recycling facilities to find out what options are available for disposal or repurposing. In some cases, local businesses may be able to take plastics off your hands for free or for a reduced cost. Additionally, compostable packing materials can be added to landfills in order to expand its capacity and decrease the amount of methane released into the environment.

Large amounts of plastic waste should be recycled or sent to a licensed facility for proper disposal. It is important to make sure that the plastic is cleaned and dried before sending it away for recycling. Additionally, some plastics can be repurposed locally; for example, shredded plastics can be used as soil conditioner or mulch in gardening and landscaping.
