Is there any way to recycle medical equipment? I still have my daughter%26#039;s respirator that she hasn%26#039;t used for several years. I also have a manual breast pump with never used replacement parts as well as a sits bath basin that I never used. The plastics are not the kind that are accepted for recycling in my community but I hate to just throw these things away.
Is there an alternative to just throwing them into a landfill?
