FIVE THINGS

YOU CAN DO

1 .

Call your trash service to see if it accepts

nursery pots for recycling.

2 .

Contact local botanical gardens or

Master Gardener offices to see if they

organize, or know of, programs for nursery

pot recycling or reuse.

3 .

Ask about return or recycling programs

at garden centers where you buy plants.

Some will accept returns if you’re willing to

clean pots before bringing them in.

Look for plants grown and sold in

biodegradable pots,

left,

that can be

planted and left in the soil. Patronize garden

centers that carry them.

5

Reuse pots for plant sales or trades.

Before reusing, be sure to clean off all

traces of old soil.
