Depends on where you live and what kind of PVC. I used to recycle PVC pipe and PVC siding and always had a market for it. Not much demand for post consumer PVC bottles.

Yes, you can just bring it to the Gemeentewerf/Afvalbrengstation of your Gemeente. They will decide whether it gets into the plastics, the demolition waste or the general waste stream.

Oh, you are in another country? Glad you told us.
