samuldacamul New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 09/29/2012 5:54 pm Hey everyone, I just wondered if anyone here has a way of reusing or recycling the plastic coin wraps some companies use to wrap pennies, nickels, etc. I have a huge trash bag full and it kills me to throw things like this away. Also, sorry for the volume of threads I have been starting Report this Post to the Staff

samuldacamul New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 09/29/2012 7:54 pm Yeah I hate it. I think I'm just going to keep hoarding them and then ask my local recycling center if they will take them. Report this Post to the Staff

Mine only recently started taking plastics other than #1 and #2.

JobIII Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 10/01/2012 12:37 pm I just bag them and put them in with the plastics at the dump. I never considered using them for packaging. I like that idea. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/04/2012 11:16 pm I like that idea too. I keep a box of foam peanuts that I dip into from time to time. Those make great lumbar support pillows. Just fill an old pillow case and tie it up. Eventually they go flat but I never seem to run out of them. Report this Post to the Staff
baysinger626 Pillar of the Community United States 950 Posts	Posted 10/16/2012 6:53 pm I use them to store my keepers since they fit neatly in the boxes and those boxes happen to fit neatly in my safe. I wonder if you could recycle them at one of those places that take used plastic shopping bags? Edited by baysinger626 10/16/2012 6:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
