Which plastic code is used depends on what plastic is used. Toothbrush handles are either polypropylene (code 5) or HDPE (code 2). However, the bristles are usually made of something else, e.g. nylon, so there is no appropriate code. Codes are used on items which can be recycled and you can't do that with mixed materials.
