These days I only recycle numbers 1 and 2, the only ones that have a chance of being turned into something else. Everything else I just put in the trash (with an eye on avoiding plastic in the first place, opting for things in glass containers, cooking from base ingredients, etc)
In my area they recycle 1, 2 and 5, so that's what I do.
PET #1 is very recyclable in general. Not so sure about 2 or 5.
My biggest frustration is all the recycling labels smeared on things that aren't recyclable leading to everyone calling it a 'scam' when in fact some recycling of plastics (namely PET) is much better than the alternative (burning or landfill).
