s/o What to freeze stuff in
DH and I are in the process of buying glass storageware, we already use butcher paper (we actually raise our own beef & pork) but we have A LOT of left over plasticware that I'm not sure what to do with. Some of it I plan to use in my craft room for odds and ends (buttons, scraps, etc) but most of it is rather useless and not even BPA free.
Is there a place I can recycle this? Would it be with our normal recycling?

Re: s/o What to freeze stuff in
You need to check which numbers of plastic your town/county accepts. Look it up on earth911.com and then check the numbers in the recycling symbol on the bottom. Note that the botoms and tops may be different numbers.
Also, Goodwill and other stores will take them if they're not trashed.
Hello to another February mom! I have my 20w ultrasound in mid-Oct, I can't wait to see an image just like the one in your siggie!
I would hold on to some of it for household use, and some for giving leftovers away to friends. We use Pyrex glass storageware too, but when we some how end up with plasticware we use it to hold paint (works great) or other odds-and-ends like you said. If you get rid of all of it like we did when we bought glassware, you'll find yourself buying more to send Thanksgiving leftovers home with your family!
If you have A LOT, then I would recycle the older, scratched-up ones. Ditto PP on checking the numbers to make sure your recycling company accepts them. Goodwill is also a good idea.
