I just want to caution, that with many municipalities, the recycling centers need each product intact with the stamp of grade plastic for them to recycle it, otherwise, they toss the unknowns to a dumpster. i.e. if you look at a normal milk jug, it is most likely a 2, or HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). and therefore most places accept them. Before you shred and combine, you should check with your local pickup to see how it is sorted (and actually retained)
