Plastic plant pots
How does one get rid of the blooming things? I have just been looking at
our local council web site and see that they do not recycle plastic. I have to take them to a quarry quite a distance away. I wish that garden centre`s collected them ,maybe I will have to have a word and see if they would be interested in starting something.Any other ideas? kate |

Check out your local Yellow Book and see if anyone is interested. Natalie |

I tend to end up by the end of the season with loads of small ones. I asked our local garden centre if I could add them to their 'free to good homes' stack and they were happy to let them in proveided I'd hosed them down and they didn't enter the centre itself. I don't think we'll have too many left at the end of this year, based on the rate that Holly (8 month OES puppy) gets through them! If we're really lucky, she waits until the pot is empty before she runds off with it. Johanna |

The message
from Kate Morgan contains these words: How does one get rid of the blooming things? I have just been looking at our local council web site and see that they do not recycle plastic. I have to take them to a quarry quite a distance away. I wish that garden centre`s collected them ,maybe I will have to have a word and see if they would be interested in starting something.Any other ideas? I've given stacks to plant swaps, jumble sales, schools and plant tables at fetes, and they always seem to find homes..often with people who are raising plants for plantswaps, charity sales etc Janet. |

Try also seeing if there is a local Thrive garden, theraputic Horticulture, or NCCPG garden, group etc nearby as these may be willing to take them. There is now a commercial pot/packing recycling scheme although i don't know how good the uptake is in the UK. Unfortunatly its not open to small domestic use. If you could be bothered you could try selling them on Ebay, very cheaply.. I'm sure someone out there would be willing to pay a few quid for postage;-) // Jim |
