Got a garage full of plastic pots? I sure do. Every year, the collection grows. It’s nice to have a few on hand for transplants and plant swaps, but I don’t have the room for three full garbage bags of empty plastic pots.

Luckily, The Minnesota Nursery & Landscape Association (MNLA) just announced that their popular plastic garden pot recycling program is returning for another season. Just bring your clean plastic garden pots, polystyrene cell pack trays, and hanging baskets to your participating neighborhood garden center from now until November 1st. Your unwanted plastic pots will be processed and re-used by manufacturers looking for recycled plastic.

Click here to see the complete list of participating nurseries.

For those wishing to participate in the recycling program, please:
· Do not bring household plastic or clay pots.
· Dump all soil and remove metal hangers.
· Note the collection times. Your garden center will only take plastic for a limited time. Ask garden center staff for more details.
· Bring only PLASTIC pots, trays & baskets.
