Are these recyclable? The idea of take and "toss" really rubs me the wrong way . . .

No idea but I don't toss them use over and over have never needed to toss. They are very hard plastic could probably put in dish washer

I would think so. But you really don't need to "toss" them. They are very sturdy. I've been using them and dishwashing them for going on 4 months now. They are great spoons!

They seem like standard plastic so I would assume they could be recycled but as the other answerers I have kept mine and have even run them through the dishwasher. I've had mine for almost a year and they are still in great shape.

These are disposable straws, made of the same stuff the straws are made of at fast food places. They're not meant to be reused. If you want reusable straws that you can wash in the dishwasher, you should buy reusable straws since the heat of the dishwasher water would surely melt these. Having said that, if you really want to wash and reuse these, I suppose you could dunk them in a dish pan of warm soapy water and wash them by hand. That's the only way I can imagine reusing them would be feasible, but I can't imagine why you'd want to do that.

Really they are a little thicker than a garbage bag. I wouldn't call them reusable if that helps.

They are plastic. So I don't imagine that you would be able to run them through the washing machine, but they absolutely are reusable.

I recycle mine but there are only certain areas that have those facilities, so you would have to check your local recycle depot.

I'm sure they are reusable. I have hand washed them but not dishwashered them. I'm sure you can.

Most trash companies won't take the recycling if its bagged. It messes up the sorting machine. We just put the recyclables in and then dump it in the larger recycle bin outside.

I would think so since they are plastic. I don't recycle mine because they art full of trash when I throw them out. It should say on the box but I don't have the box anymore.

I don't think it is practical to reuse them. We just picked them up one at a time and put them in the trash. They weren't too heavy. We ordered one each of about five different brands and did our own test to see which one worked best. This one was not the top performer, in our opinion.

sorry for delayed answerI cannot see why you would discardThey are sturdy and washable.we re-use.

Yes they can, multiple times. And ignore the wasteful bone head loser that suggests to throw them away just because they are cheap. Books are cheap, lets just use them for fire!? Water is cheap, just keep the tap running. *bil people in the world you numbskull, live a little responsibly. Also ignore the nylon ones, as they don't breathe and they are not natrual cotton and not easily recyclable. They dont loose there shape as your fingers stretch them into shape.

I throw them away after each use, however, if they are not torn, they can be washed out and reused.

I wouldn't reuse them and I also didn't put them in my compost pile. When I put the food waste in my compost pile, then I just burn the used bag. I have found that regardless of what they say, they don't break down very readily. I don't buy more bags, I just use the plastic bags from.Walmart and the grocery stores. You can cut the handles of the bag then tie each of the ends together and tuck down into the sides of the bin. Other than that, I really like the bin. Hope that helps as, like you, I did n't want to keep BUYING the bags.

No, you can not. It says on the packaging not microwavable and not dishwasher safe. But I love them. Everyone thought they were getting nice china to eat on before they picked them. They make a beautiful place setting without all the work. Just use, rinse, and recycle(if your area supports recycling). They can be hand washed and reused as well.

I've wondered the same thing. I don't think they are supposed to be reusable, but I can reuse them if I keep them clean.

They are recyclable. They have a triangle with a 6 inside it on the bottom.

It depends. If the package says "Use only once" then you dispose them after one use, if it says "Reusable," then you can wash and reuse them. HIH.
