Hi Lonkath-

I suggest trying Whole Foods – I’ve heard that they take them.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Maven, thanks for the info. I was wondering why Whole Foods was not all over this, and I’m glad to see that I was wrong, they are! I need to dump all of mine in a shopping tote and head down there!

Glad to hear that more people are realizing the value of cork recycling. I have been in the restaurant/catering business for years and have been recycling all of the corks with Yemm & Hart. They turn them into amazing flooring tiles. Go to http://www.yemmhart.com to check them out.
Also, Whole Foods has recently started recycling corks.

Whole Foods also has cork collection bins:
