Never Recycle Your Kiddie Pool
Kiddie pools are typically made of materials such as PVC plastic (#3), which cannot be recycled. Additionally, the shape and size also prevents a kiddie pool from being recyclable.
Ways to Reduce
Buy Gently Used Instead of New
Buying used reduces items sent to the landfill – and saves you money. Check if a friend or neighbor is getting rid of a gently used pool instead of shopping for a new pool. With a good wash, a used pool can be just as good as a new one.
Ways to Reuse
Sell Locally or Online
If your pool is in good condition, sell it at a yard sale or bring it to a local swap meet. Your neighbor buying it could save you a trip to the landfill. You could also easily post and sell your pool in online marketplaces such as Craigslist and eBay.
