Recycling & Disposal Guide: Inflatable Items

✅ Recycling & Reuse Options:

🎈 Inflatable Items (Air Mattresses, Pool Floats, Bounce Houses, etc.):

• Patch & Reuse: Repair small holes with a vinyl patch kit.

• Upcycle: Old inflatables can be cut into waterproof fabric for bags, covers, or ground tarps.

• Specialty Recycling: Some brands like TerraCycle offer mail-in recycling for vinyl and plastic inflatables.

🚫 Not Accepted in Regular Curbside Recycling

• Most tents and inflatables are made of mixed materials (nylon, polyester, PVC, plastic coatings), which are not recyclable in standard curbside bins.

• Vinyl & PVC items (like pool floats and bounce houses) are difficult to recycle and should be disposed of responsibly.

🛠 Best Disposal Option for Non-Recyclable Items:

• Landfill: If beyond repair, dispose of them in regular trash.

• Check with Local Waste Services: Some areas have designated drop-off locations for specialty plastics.
