Irrigation Tubing Do Not Put In Recycling Do Not Recycle Irrigation tubing can get tangled up in sorting equipment at recycling facilities, damaging the machinery and creating safety hazards for workers. Never put irrigation tubing in the recycling. Take Large Amounts to Landfill If your tubing does not fit in your garbage bin, take it to the landfill for disposal. To be disposed of curbside, tubing and other garbage must fit inside of your bin. Ways to Reuse Donate Unused Tubing Consider giving unused tubing to a neighbor, garden program, nursery or farm.
