Reduce – Reuse – Recycle – With Us!

Did you know that you can bring back unwanted plastic plant pots, plant trays, and empty compost bags to the Garden Centre for recycling?

Plant Pot Recycling

If you have any unwanted plastic plant pots or trays, and can’t recycling them with your household recycling collections, you can recycle them with us.

We have re-purposed one of our wheelie bins into a pot drop off point, please feel free to drop off or take pots for re-using from here – be sure to wash pots thoroughly before re-using and take care when having a rummage, we recommend wearing gloves.

What happens next? The pots and trays are crushed at the Garden Centre, sent for recycling and made into low grade plastic products. We wait until we have an entire lorry load of recycling to lower the impact of sending the recycling away.

Compost Bag Recycling

Your unwanted, empty compost bags can be brought to the Garden Centre and put in our designated box for recycling.

Any brand or size of compost bag can be recycled. Before you bring your bags to the garden centre please ensure they are empty of compost, they do not need to washed out.

Before you recycle your compost bags think about other possible uses for them, for example, with added drainage holes they could be used for lining troughs or baskets!
