Tooth brushes are made with plastics that can be melted and reformed into other products. As for toothpastes, if you can't freecycle the contact your city's Environmental Services Department or hazardous waste for local disposal methods.

That's such a small part of the problem that it's hardly worth talking about. Think about higher-volume items, or items that are disposed of on a 'one use' basis.
