They told me at the recycling center that they are classified as Hazardous Waste and they couldn't take them. :shock:

I wear mine down to almost nothing. It amazes me how much the white fender heavy picks can wear.

Too much time on his hands...

I prefer to recycle guitars... other people buy them first, break them in, then I buy 'em from them.

Sure. I Recycle My Picks From My Guitar To My Bass. Then I Throw Them In The Garbage. Is That Green Enough ?

My wife gave me a sterling silver plectrum engraved with the words "I pick you" on Valentine's Day. I don't actually use a pick so that one will be staying in pristine condition and not getting recylced.

But of course the advantage of silver, gold and platinum picks is that they can be recycled - profitably! Just a thought...

Cheers - C
