Chewing gum can be recyclable, but not through standard municipal recycling programs.
While conventional chewing gum isn't recyclable in your curbside bin due to its sticky and non-biodegradable nature, specific recycling programs exist that are designed to handle it. These programs collect used gum, often through designated bins, and process it into new products like Gumdrops, which are new items made from recycled gum.
This specialized recycling diverts waste gum from landfills and offers a more sustainable solution for disposal.
