Used Accessories

What do you do with your old CPAP accessories, such as masks, hoses, headgear, etc?

If masks are in good condition, offer them to anyone that may want to try a different mask. Hoses...I cut off the ends and cut them from end to end with a scissors. then use it to hide electrical cords around my computer and other electrical equipment.

Don't you have a recycling program there?

If the accessories are worn out, I just throw them in the trash. They are medical waste and as such, the recycler doesn't want them (at this time). Everything is multiple types of plastic, so a bit harder to recycle.

If they were used only a short time (didn't work out, used something else, extras) or are things I just don't need, then I sell/swap/give away.

If still usable, donate to a homeless shelter.
