Disposal of solar container ice packs

Disposing of gel ice packs can be done in a variety of ways, including recycling, donating, repurposing, or disposing of in a hazardous waste facility. Ice packs are great for keeping things cold, but figuring out how to dispose of ice packs can be tricky. Many common products may contain hazardous materials and require special disposal. It’s illegal to dispose of hazardous waste in the garbage, down storm drains, or onto the ground because it can harm health and cause fires. While the plastic casing might be recyclable depending on your local regulations, the gel itself presents a unique challenge.
