Are they pots the plants came in from the nursery or decorator pots? If
the former, they can be recycled.

I tried that, they have some weird prohibition against giving away plants or
plant-related materials.

No they don't, Melbourne Oz has two groups, one for items that impact on
landfil (pot are allowed) and the other for low impact items and non
tangibles etc.

I'm the owner mod of MFC, hundreds of pots have been given on the group.
