Recycle/dispose of carbon shafts?

[Go West Old Man]

I’m not a bow hunter and never owned a bow of any kind, but a couple years ago I bought a couple of Easton carbon shafts from a bow shop to use for a project idea that I had (was thinking MacGyver ingenuity ). I had the shop cut each one and half. Ultimately, my project idea was not a good one and thus abandoned. The carbon shafts are junk and I need to dispose of them. How do you bow hunters dispose of old carbon shafts? Can they be put in the recycling or just put in regular household garbage? Thanks.

I have been 3D printing pen tips for mine and trying to resell them.

Before that, they were tomato stakes or tossed in the trash

they are plastic you can toss them.
If you had 10,000 of them maybe consider recycling to a chopped fiber facility

I always just toss them in the trash if they’re damaged I’ll cut them in half then throw them away.

I throw them out, sometimes I save one for random RC car projects.

They go in the landfill like Windmill blades and solar panels.

I have cut the fletched ends off and make pen out of them. I also clean the labels of them (black sticks) and use them for yardage markers when I bow hunt (deer from a tree and turkey). I also use broken arrows as range markers when practicing distant shots.
