All plastic pots and cell packs will be accepted this year for recycling. Photo by Fran DurnerThere will be a plastic pot recycling event again this year on Saturday, August 8, and this time they will ACCEPT ALL PLASTIC POTS and CELL PACKS!
Jeanne Carlson, recycling coordinator with the muni, says: "This year, we'll be taking all plastic pots, cell packs and trays, which must be sorted into two categories: #2 HDPE pots and #5,#6,& #7 pots, trays and cell packs. New this year is the collection of the #6 trays, pots and cell packs. These containers are rigid plastic that will crack or tear when bent. This addition should significantly increase the number of garden containers that can be recycled. Please remove metal hangers and excess dirt before bringing. Stack like pots to save space. And PLEASE, no pre- or post-event drop-off. It's a one-day event only!"
Mark your calendars for August 8. The event will be held again in the Benny Benson school parking lot next to the Alaska Botanical Garden from 10am to 5pm.
