As a frequent customer of the local medical marijuana dispensary, you may notice you have a growing supply of containers lying around the house. While you may find medical marijuana containers to be larger than necessary and ultimately wasteful, the reality is the strict requirements dispensary owners must follow result in excess packaging.
If you find your accumulation of cannabis containers to be overwhelming, you may want to consider your options for recycling them. Just throwing them in the trash guarantees these containers will end up on a pile in a landfill and there are better ways to dispose of your marijuana packaging.
On each container in your stockpile, you will find a recycling number that indicates whether or not the local recycling center will accept them.
In many cases, marijuana containers must be thoroughly washed. And the labels need to be removed before they will be accepted. Removing labels is made easier by a quick soak in hot water before you try peeling the paper material.
To ensure your cannabis jars and bottles will be accepted at your local recycling center, call the company ahead of time and find out the rules. Otherwise, your containers may very well end up at the landfill.
Repurpose Your Containers Around the House
High-quality cannabis containers can enjoy a second life around the house, holding a variety of items depending on the container size.
A great example of repurposing your containers is to convert them into seed starters for your summertime garden. All you need for the conversion is a couple of small holes popped through the bottom of your cannabis container for proper water drainage.
The containers are also great for organizing a variety of items around your house, such as:
If you want to really get into the repurposing of your marijuana jars and bottles, take a quick look at sites like Pinterest to learn inventive tricks for reusing your excess containers.
There are a number of organizations that will accept your old containers and jars as a donation. These organizations either use the containers directly-sending them to countries that need quality containers for medical supplies, or recycle the donated containers for profit.
Start by asking your favorite dispensary questions about the reuse and recycling rules in your state. Some dispensaries may be legally allowed to refill your containers with new product or be willing to collect used containers for their own repurposing needs. You may also earn a discount on your next purchase for your environmental protection efforts.

Weed And Waste: What To Do With Your Empty Containers
The Top 5 Things To Do With Empty Weed Containers
Are plastic pie containers recyclable?
Technically, everything could be recycled but unless there's a market for the recyclables, there is no recycling. The plastic containers are not likely to be a type 1 or 2 plastic, they are probably type 4 or 5 and there's no market for those
Is it ok to combine used engine oil from my car with used gear oil from my scooter in the same container for recycling purposes?
That should be fine. I mix all weights of motor oil into a big hug and drop it off twice a year at the recycler. As long as you are not mixing antifreeze or something else in there, oil from different types of vehicle/yard equipment is fine
What would happen if they stopped giving refunds for container recycling?
I have no clue what you are talking about. Everything I want to get rid of goes into the dumpster I rent by the month. I live in the country with no taxpayer funded garbage pick up. I recycle nothing but aluminum cans. I compost organic garbage for the garden
Are plastic oil containers recyclable?
What is considered "recyclable" varies from place to place. I can think of 2 reasons your people are leaving your oil containers behind. First, what is the number printed on the bottom? It may not be considered "recyclable" in your area. If your jugs look like milk jugs (cloudy plastic with dimples), then it is made of HDPE which is not widely recycled. Secondly, you might need to clean them out better. They may want you to thoroughly wash them out. I would ask them. Call them up or catch them when they stop by.
