After a friend read one my posts relating to deciphering the numbers on the bottoms of plastics, she came to me with a great question: Why don't all cities accept all the plastics (#1-7) and how can we find out which plastics our city will accept to recycle?
These are both valid questions. I came across a site that addresses these queries. Check out, http://tinyurl.com/5c4lq9
Overall, it all depends on your local solid waste management, so contact them to confirm what they will and will not accept. Another site I often go to is, Earth911.com . Here, you can look under plastics, type in your zip code, and they will list all the places within a particular mile radius, where you can recycle your #1-7 plastics.
