Recycling Plastic Plant Pots

Is there anywhere (nurseries) in the Eastern Suburbs that I can take empty plant pots (ie from seedlings or small plants) or am I just best putting them in the recycling bin? I reuse some but have way too many to ever use.

  • Small plastic pot plants can be recycled through the household recycling bin, but only if they meet all the criteria below:

    -no bigger than 4L capacity (large ice cream container)
    -clean of any soil or plants
    -made from a single piece of moulded plastic
    -not have any accessories attached (e.g. strings or chains of any type)

    Any other types of plastic pot plants and plastic plants are considered contamination in the recycling stream.

  • Put them on ebay. Always people trying to find them cheap. Including me. :)
