The good news is that your plant pots can still be recycled free of charge via:
CLAW Environmental
5 Forge St, Welshpool WA 6106, Australia
9333 4888
You will have to drop them off, so why not get together with a group of gardening friends and share the job of taking them for recycling. You could also put your hand up to be a collection point in your street or neighbourhood.
There are also a few ways to get more life out of them:
They are handy for cuttings – and you could swap or share with your neighbours.
They are perfect for growing microgreens to give your salads a bit of a boost! Or grow your own herbs for cooking.
You can use them to start an indoor edible garden on a sunny windowsill.
Decorate them and plant some seeds, seedlings or cuttings and give them as gifts.
If you have a stack of plastic plant pots, post them on your local Buy Nothing Facebook group.
You could leave some in a box at the end of your driveway with a ‘Free’ sign inviting people to help themselves as they are passing.
