There are so many good answers I don%26#039;t know who to choose as the best answer. I will definitely use some of them for seedling containers and some of them to bring to the farmer%26#039;s market. Thank you!

You might ask a teacher especially if she teaches young children if she could use them in her art center. Many teachers teach recycling by giving a child an item such as the clam shell and ask the child to make something out of it. Teachers are very creative in recycling many things.

I have always put them in the recycling bin, and the trash company takes them with everything else. THey have a number on the bottom of them. well most of them do. I say recycle according to that number. my limited knowledge

There really is no efficient way to recycle them. Try to reuse them yourself, and maybe check with a local small farmer to see if they can reuse them. Some local farms near me will take back used egg cartons.

Reuse them for growing seedlings or sprouting.
