We have the recycle cans, too, but our is a little small. Can't get that many boxes in it at a time, but it's better than nothing. If I could figure out a way to sell them I'd be stoked! Didn't know the outer wrappers for the bags were recyclable! Will have to see about getting the bf to put those aside.

we were told to recycle too, but when i went to the city dump where the recycle bins are, there was a huge sign that said no dialysis materials of any kind. i asked about just the bags, they said no. nothing.
now, i could have put the materials in a trash bag and thrown in the big dump area, but was 48$ no matter how small load. luckily we live in the boonies so i could throw it all in the burn ring. do not stand near the burn ring when burning though, fumes are toxic!

a funny: during the driest part of summer, we still had a load of dialysate in bags/boxes unopened. i used these to water the plants. these were sterile/unused. one bag a plant. even poked holes in bag and laid by plants to drain slower. like a trickle hose.

We are so lucky in the UK. We have a guy from our council come and pick up the clinical waste bags every Monday. They incinerate it. We also have recycling bins for the cardboard, I have two at the moment because they are picked up once every two weeks. So I count my self very lucky.
