Plant pots (rigid plastic), for recycling
Plant pots made out of rigid plastic are accepted in curbside recycling, at the Drop-Off Station, and at the Recovery Yard.
Recycle Right!
As long as your plant pots are not made out of soft, flimsy plastic (like the black plastic planters), they can be recycled. Ensure that the pots are clean of contaminants before recycling.
Live Zero Waste!
