Clean up your Fall Garden!
We know that “Fall is for Planting” — but Fall also is the time to clean up your garden. As you plant those pansies and mums or clean out your garden shed, plan to recycle your empty plastic garden pots. We have surveyed most of the recycling centers in Virginia and have found few that collect garden pots. However, much of this plastic can be recycled into new garden pots or other plastic items. We just need to collect it! Do your part to prevent your recyclable plastic waste going to the landfill.
Greener Gardening
After our successful 2010 pilot project, we have expanded the container recycling program, Virginia Gardeners Recycle, to all of Virginia. We appreciate all of the participating businesses and volunteers and look forward to another green summer!
This website contains information on where to recycle your garden containers as as well as resources for participating garden centers and landscapers.
