Bungee cords are dangerous to place in your recycling. They can become wrapped around sorting machinery, which damages the machinery, causes delays, and endangers the workers who need to untangle them. The same goes for garden hoses and Christmas lights. Any cord-shaped item is a safety hazard if it ends up at your recycling facility.

If your bungee cords are no longer usable, throw them in the trash. They cannot be recycled. If they’re still functional but collecting dust in your garage, donate them or give them a second life with one of these ideas from Good Housekeeping.
