Follow your local municipal recycling guidelines. Rules vary by recycling facility.

In nearly 16 years, I've never "disposed" of any of my supplies. I've kept them for spares (or spare parts) and backups.
And, in reality, I haven't used that many masks, cushions, hoses or other supplies. My equipment and supplies last for YEARS.

Huh! Didn't you stay awake, when they showed the class about the rotation of your supplies. My Guess you aren't a prepper or maybe just very rich. I have spares, but I don't waste my money or others (INS). Jim

I once saved my old nasal pillows; but now I drop them into the wastebasket with the old filters.
Less trouble--and done with it.

Most of the things aren't recyclable, due to being silicone or a mix of plastics, the bottom of the s9 Resmed water tanks being an exception.

So, trash.

Which makes it even more egregious when DMEs rush people to buy more (unneeded) stuff!.

It WAS a duplicate, but too late to delete, so I edited it.
Hence the rant about a duplicate.
