Ah, the blister pack, used to package everything from medications to toys. Perhaps the
only thing harder than opening these plastic containers is determining whether or not they are recyclable. Blister packs fall into the catch-all category of
rigid plastics, similar to plastic cups, yogurt containers and clamshell packaging. While the recycling market was first limited for rigid plastics due to the challenges of transporting them (they can’t be crushed and baled like plastic bottles), more and more communities are now accepting them in curbside programs.
There's no reason household cast-offs should be destined for the dump—plenty of nearby agencies are more than willing to give your old stuff from paint to cork to teddy bears a second life. Here's how to find them. Because most juice pouches are made of plastic polymer and aluminum, they unfortunately can't be recycled. You don't need to dump them, though. For every Honest Kids, Capri Sun, and Kool-Aid Drink pouch you send to TerraCycle, the company will donate 2 cents to the charity of your choice. (They provide free shipping, too!) What's more, your old juice pouches will get a second life as colorful purses, totes, and pencil cases, which are sold at Target and Walgreens stores throughout the U.S.

Earlier this week, I spent two minutes staring at our office trash can. In my hand, a manila folder lined with plastic Bubble Wrap sat ready to be discarded. But where? Did the paper envelope mean it qualified as recyclable? Or was the plastic wrap enough to render it trash-bound? This inner monologue went on long enough to become borderline obsessive, and it got me thinking about all the other everyday waste that falls into this gray space between trash and recyclables.
