How to Recycle Plastic Plant Pots
Plastic containers used for growing plants.
Quick answer
It depends. Rigid plastic plant pots are often #5 or #6, which many curbside programs reject. Knock off all soil first, then return clean pots to a garden center that takes them (Lowe's and many nurseries do) or check your local rules before binning.
