When I get an overflow of tubs/containers for recycle, they go to the local senior center or our church for use after potluck dinners. Can send food home with others attending. Animal shelters can utilize plastic bags for discarding refuse there. Newspapers/printed material goes to papergators sponsored by area churches. Be sure to remove your name and address from items put into these dumpsters and put that through the shredder. Never know who is collecting that information.
