tbf, you wouldn't do this because it's cheaper, you'd do it because it's more ecologically friendly and it helps make your 3d printer a bit more sustainable.
But at 20 bucks for a spool of thread, you won't be coming out ahead economically by recycling, I agree.
No, the ecologically friendly option is to send it to the recycling.
Assuming it's recycled instead of sent to a landfill.
