how do you dispose of them?

I went to ThermaCare.com and read their FAQ and it stated: ThermaCare® can be disposed of in your regular trash. To be safe, dispose of it 8 hours after it is out of the primary foil package (or 12 hours later for Knee & Elbow products). Care should be taken to keep ThermaCare® out of the reach of children and animals.Hope this helps. Have a good day.

I rolled it up and put it in the garbage. The cardboard box went in the recycle.

Personally I would remove them. They will hold 70% of their charge for 5 years. Hope that helps! Ray

Yes, you throw them away after one use. That being said, they last for ~12 hours.

Mine go in the trash. Have never given their disposal a second thought, and I'm pretty darned green!

I just rinse them out and put them in the recycling bins. They are completely recyclable, you just have to rinse any food out.

Yes. I throw them in a tub of soapy water and scrub them. Or, you can just throw them in the dish washer.

Yes, they need to be purged. Call your local AC guy. It takes a single end, so be sure you ask first before having them come out. Took three tries for me to find one that had the right end. Good luck.

They are stuck to the bottom of the tray with some really nasty double sided insulated tape material, no trick to the removal other than rip and tear with a screwdriver. Afterwards the material can be scraped out of the bottom of the tray, try some WD-40 to "dissolve" the stickly residue. I may have even used two screwdrivers prying them apart from each other. In this neck of the woods (Maine) recylcers will pay $$ for old sealed lead acid batteries!Good Luck

Make sure the ash is not hot then dump it into a small plastic bag and put it out with your garbage.

Volume wise, they are quite large so it is doubtful if you would even come close to filling them. You just twist them shut and can then turn it inside out and dispose of it. No mess at all.

We take ours to a waste disposal station. Most campgrounds and many RV storage places have them.

just use a vacuume, do not run them under water it can ruin them, the new plastic smell should be gone in like a week or so

I throw them away after each use, however, if they are not torn, they can be washed out and reused.

I'm thinking for a week or until they look dirty. You have to take them out in the morning and put them back in the case. Don't just put them on your night table to collect dust.

If they are completely used then recycle them at Office depot or Staples. They will give you rewards dollars for trading them in.

That depends on the area you live in. I burn it when I make a brush pile. I pour it onto the brush, but I don't have that much to dispose of. I expect you could put it in two liter bottles cap them tightly and put them out with the trash.

They are sterile so you don't need to wash them. Just open one and attach it. I haven't tried reusing them. I thought about it until I started using them. I think it's impractical.
