Where can I recycle corrugated plastic in New York City? It appears to be the dreaded plastic #5 (polypropylene). I have about 35 sheets.

You can make an interesting "fabric" (tutorial here) by ironing plastic bags together but I am pretty sure that doing this releases molecules of Something Bad into the air that I am then breathing. Am I right? Do I need a respirator?

As someone who used to live in recycling nirvanna, Seattle, I find living in New York City, with it's limited recycling program kind of frustrating. Is there any place in the city that accepts #5 plastic?
