With a couple of exceptions, the packaging can’t be recycled and has also
become egregiously un-MOCable and just plain BIG.

I can’t believe I’m even suggesting this, but if there’s a triangle made of
arrows with a number inside located somewhere on the bottom, that piece of
plastic can indeed be recycled. But if you plan to keep the sets intact, but
don’t plan to display them all at the same time, they are quite useful for
storing the parts, or, in many cases, the assembled models (I think that’s why
they keep getting so big).

You are corect, sir! Many of the containers are “1”; but some of the components
are “5”. Seattle recycling has a nutty rule for plastic, anyway: “Ignore the
numbers—recycle only plastic bottles, tubs, jugs, and jars, plus shopping,
newspaper and dry cleaning bags. The number indicates the resin (a type of
plastic) content. The cost of recycling some items exceeds the value of recycled
plastic.” So the most useless bits (I’m looking at the Phantoka canister
decoration) would have to go to the landfill. Sigh.
