Acceptable garden plastic includes: cell packs, trays, pots of all sizes and hanging basket containers. Gardeners must sort and separate their plastic by its numbered type, to recycle for grinding and making into new products. Each collection trailer is marked with simple sorting instructions and symbols to separate #6 plastic (polystyrene cell packs and trays) from #2 and #5 plastic (all other pots).
Recyclers are also asked to shake soil and rocks out of containers and remove all metal hangers, rings or other materials which can interfere with the plastic grinding process.
No clay pots, please! No garden edging, plastic sheeting materials and food plastic accepted.
Open to the Public

Ann...
I like all things green. Glad to see that you community is on board!
What a great idea this is! I wonder if they do this in our community? I love to plant and have all those containers to dispose of.....I will have to check it out!
Have a great weekend!
Eric,
Thank you for the comment. I drive a long way to participate in a recycling program. One is not offered in my rural setting.
Richard,
I get emails from the Green Community.
Ann,
I am sure they must do something similar in other areas.
Thank you for stopping by,
Ann
