Worth noting for anyone who thinks "why bother recycling", this is specifically about plastics.
If you have metal, aluminum especially is a very valuable recyclable, so definitely keep recycling that.

Anything else, you should probably give to a scrap metal recycler. It doesn't matter what is theoretically recyclable. All that matters is what the recycler can handle. So the rule of thumb is: there is no rule of thumb. Follow the local rules.
