You can easily remove the plant and it's soil due to being able to squeeze the cup
If they are treated carefully you can reuse them for three or four seasons before they begin to crack.

Once they do it's into the recycle bin.
Several people have mentioned drilling holes in cups. When I use plastic or foam cups, I grab a stack of 5 to 10 at a time and use a metal BBQ skewer to punch thru the bottoms of them all at once. You can also use a piece of heavy wire, like from a coat hanger, that has a point at one end. Just push it thru and make as many holes as you like. Three to six holes, depending on their size, are plenty.
