If you feel guilty about throwing away plastic spoons, forks, knives cups & plates, and do not want to send them off to Far West Fibers for recycling, there's a non-profit called called Community Partners located at 6380 SW Capitol Hwy corner of Bertha Ct. in Hillsdale, that accepts them. 

There's a 15 minute parking space just outside their door on Bertha Ct.
