Are Pokemon cards recyclable?
Nah, Pokemon cards are not your average paper product because they're coated with plastic for durability. This coating makes them tricky to recycle in the traditional paper recycling stream. Best bet is to find a special recycling program that accepts mixed materials, but those are pretty rare. So, collecting or repurposing them might be a more eco-friendly option!

Short answer: nope. They've got a plastic layer, so you can't just toss them in with your newspapers.
Definitely a bummer, but Pokemon cards aren't recyclable through conventional means because of their plastic coating. I tried reaching out to a local recycling center, and they confirmed it. Ended up giving my doubles to a friend's kid and felt pretty good about it!
