4th Annual Gardener's Flower Pot Swap & Recycling Days
Friday June 24 - Monday June 27 at Tompkins County Cornell Cooperative Extension, 615 Willow
Avenue, Ithaca NY
Are you looking for an environmentally friendly solution for what to
do with the plastic containers from plants you purchased this
spring? Bring your plastic nursery pots, seedling flats, plastic
trays and cell packs (but no PVC!) any time on
Friday-Saturday-Sunday-Monday and leave them in the designated area off
the parking lot behind Cooperative Extension.
Home gardeners and growers may also take away as many pots as you
can use!We also invite bedding plant and nursery growers
to come select pots to reuse in your business!
At the conclusion of this collection drive, all pots and flats that
remain will be trucked to Ultimate Recycling Plastics in Port Gibson
(near Palmyra, NY) where they will get a new life as nailer boards.
Sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County
