Viability of Recycling failed prints? - eviltoast

Is there a viable method or company to recycle failed prints or prototypes? I’ve been keeping all of my PETG stuff in a box, still a way to go before it’s full but was curious if anyone had any experience here whether it be something diy or shipping them to a company.

    There’s at least one Canadian manufacturer with a recycling program, although they don’t offer you any credit for sending them scrap ( https://filaments.ca/pages/recycling ), and I expect there are some in the US. The “melt into slabs in a secondhand toaster oven and use to make a small shelving unit” approach is probably cheaper over time, though (alternatively, melt it in a soft drink can and make plastic mallet heads).
