Default stock front bumper recyclable?

I cut off my front bumper to get the towhooks out so it is shot, that plus the airdam underneath. Anyone know if the local recycle place will take it? I am already taking the steel bit to the ferrous metal place. Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to put it in the trash but they got to go!

cut the plastic part to lift it off. with the towhooks it doesn't want to come out, and I knew they weren't worth squat.

Local recycle place not have a phone?

That's really the only way you're going to find out. Every recycling center is different as far as what it accepts. You'll have to ask what grades of plastic yours will take.

I don't recall seeing a symbol (number in a triangle) embossed on mine when I had it off to install tow hooks ... but I wasn't looking for one, either.

[edit] On second thought ... isn't it nylon? Same advice in any case.

Cover it in old hairspray and club a baby seal with it. Then throw it on a tire fire

I had mine of this weekend and didnt see any of the symbols. I dont really get why you had to cut anything. It is pretty simple to take on and off even to get to the tow hooks.
