My township recycles plastics 1-7 which I guess is every plastic item made? Is this correct? I have a large trash can and some shelves which are that hard plastic which I would like to recycle but they don't have a number on them (not that I would expect them to).

The trash can may well qualify,the shelves are less certain.Suggest you call the appropriate authority and ask them about the items.I have to wonder if they can handle large items.

put the plastic shelving and associated plastic vertical tubes in the blue recycling bin and they were taken....so I guess there is at least a chance they could be recycled

If they are still in good condition, why not put them on the street curb with a FREE sign on them. You'd be amazed at what we've been able to recycle at the end of our driveway.

It is important to the environment that we recycle so that we can keep the plastic bottles out of our land fields. You need to remember that plastic does not go away it will sit in a field and never decompose and this can cause a lot of problems. Greenhouse Gas Emissions can be greatly improved when you recycle and the best part is you will be helping to improve the world we live in.
