Wow that is really going to put a crimp in things for people, we always take all of our used one's up to Wal-Mart and they put them in a designated barrel. Who knows what they do with them though, probably throw them in the garbage!

From what I remember last year it's hard to find a place to despose of plactic in N.C. also I drove semi pulled flat bed and loads of lumber & sheet rock had to be covered with plastic and I had to wait till I got to another state to throw it away.Silly I thought !
