Bring your plastic pots, tags and trays to Landscape Ontario’s home office for recycling, from June 28 to July 5 (incl. July 1st). This event will divert hundreds of pounds of previously non-recycled plastics from landfills. The pots and trays will be used by a Canadian company to produce products from recycled material. The opportunity is open to both green industry companies and members of the public. Landscape Ontario and the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association are working together on this event to build momentum toward a National Plastic Recycling Week for the green industry. British Columbia is also hosting a depot the same week.
Pots, tray and tags should be cleaned of soil, not necessarily washed, but sorted and stacked. We will also accept greenhouse poly, and mulch and fertilizer bags, as long as they are inside out and stacked/piled up (not loose).
Landscape Ontario’s head office is located at 7856 Fifth Line South in Milton.
The initiative supports Green for Life, Landscape Ontario’s outreach program to inspire the public with the beauty and benefits of gardens.
