Plastic flower containers and pots that your perennials and shrubs are sold in, as well as the 4- and 6-cell packs, plastic trays or "flats" that you carry them home in are accepted curbside in many communities. If not, local recycling depots sometimes take many types of plastic not accepted at the curb . Please be sure to eliminate any soil or other debris them before recycling. To save space in your recycle bin, stack similar types of pots and trays together. Do not include clay pots, ceramic planters or any plastic pot larger than 12" in diameter.

Some local garden suppliers may accept certain types of plant pots and trays (or they might know where they can be recycled) and some schools and colleges may accept these for their horticultural department programs. In some municipalities the 'Communities In Bloom' programs accept used pots and trays, and other gardening supplies. Call ahead to see if they can re-use your items.

As for recycling options, some retailers have recycling programs for the products and/or packaging which they sell. If no program exists, let retailers know that you would like to see a recycling program for this material developed.
