They wind up in the landfill. The dirty little secret of "recycling" programs is that they may wind up there anyway; it's not always possible to recycle plastics, though it's sometimes possible to use recycled plastic for less demanding applications (like, say, parking blocks) and there have been some improvements for certain types of plastics in the last decade or so.
