Plastic Furniture Large Item Pickup Large plastic furniture can be disposed of through our Large Item Pickup program. Small pieces can be placed in the trash. Remove Non-Plastic Pieces If your plastic furniture contains metal screws or some other kind of non-plastic part, you’ll need to break it down and separate those pieces before you can recycle it. Ways to Reduce Avoid Mixed-Material Furniture You can reduce the impact of plastic furniture on the environment by looking for pieces that are made from recycled materials, as well as ones which aren’t made of mixed materials. Look for furniture that’s made entirely of plastic, or that can be separated easily. Purchase Furniture That Will Last It’ll be better for the environment (and your wallet) if you buy quality furniture that won’t break easily or have to be thrown out after a few years. Opt for metal or wooden furniture when possible. Here’s a list of things to look for if you’re buying.
