hdpe has spi code 2:
number 2 is the second easiest plastic to recycle, and is accepted by most recyclers. if in doubt, i'd check the local recycling service's website, but you're probably good.
Can I recycle used mallet heads?
There is only a limited amount of "reuse" recycling of mallet heads, but can I put scraps and old HDPE pipe in recycling bin? I think it's high quality plastic, so why not?
Anyone?
HDPE = yes
I don't think ABS or the UMPHW (or whatever the abbreviation for the white, mcmaster carr stuff is) can be, but I may be wrong.
for NAs '10 i played with a mallet head made from melted down grocery bags. i.e. type 2. target is type 4 or ldpe which is not good.
I called my local recycling provider and 'currently' they do not accept ABS.
Hopefully they won't!
I live in Warsaw at the moment (we've just got a sweet winter court here by the way), and I have no idea how recycling works here to be honest. In Krakow where I'm from (Polish 2nd largest city and in my opinion the most active polo community) there is a MRF plant by the landfill where they take a good look at every piece of garbage I put in the recycling bin. Not here though, at least not 100% sure, Warsaw might be a little behind at this.
Thanks for the feedback though!
Yeah, I can't imagine why you shouldn't. Chunk it in!
