Product review (2 stars): GE MWF REFRIGERATOR WATER FILTERS ARE NOT RECYCLABLE
Easy to replace.  Water flow is slow, even though I think I have the "new" filter model that I've heard fixes that. The thing I dislike about this water filter is that there is no recycling path for it.  I called GE (1-800-626-2002) and was told to throw it in the trash by one phone operator and to put it in recycling by another.  I also wrote to GE and was told that GE was sorry but there was not currently a GE sponsored plan to accept and recycle their old filters, but that it was being considered.  I was told on another call that GE MWF REFRIGERATOR WATER FILTERS ARE NOT RECYCLABLE.  Given that they say you are supposed to replace the filter every 6 months (who knows how necessary that is) I kind of need to know that these things aren't ending up in a landfill if I'm going to continue to buy them.  Given that they appear to be garbage once used up I think we will have to stick to using a water pitcher style filter system.  I know those filters are recyclable.
