Just received this via email. Thought those of you who blog or do newsletters might consider it a topic your readers might be interested in. It shouldn't be too hard to find out if there is a similar program in your area...
Plastic nursery pots can take, by some estimates, up to 700 years to decompose. With millions of homes in the Greater Houston area, it's not unreasonable to say there are probably billions of these pots in our landfills right this minute.
The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center has teamed up with Gulf Coast Recycling in an effort to make recycling your flower pots as easy as possible. Drop off dirt-free, stacked and unbagged plastic garden pots and trays at the Arboretum for recycling. Grounds to the Arboretum are open 7 days/week and gate hours are 7 a.m.to 7 p.m. The Arboretum is located at 4501 Woodway Drive on the western edge of Memorial Park, just inside 610 Loop West.
Please spread the word and help keep thousands of pots out of the landfill by recycling them at the Arboretum. For more information contact 713-681-8433 or [email protected].
