Kudos to the Canadian supermarket known as Superstore (Loblaw’s), which has announced that they will now accept plastic pots, flats and even plant tags for recycling. They’ll make them into new pots and flats for use and sale the following year. This closed-loop solution could divert approximately three million garden pots from Canada’s landfills this year alone.

Kudos, indeed! It’s great to see them make this sort of effort. Now I know what to do with my own pots and trays, plus years’ worth of my Dad’s.
Wonderful, and I heard it here first!
This makes so much sense! If you catch a fresh shipment, their products are very nice – and reasonably priced.
This is good to know … although my local garden centre takes them too. They were quite happy to have pots – considering that the price of them is skyrocketing with oil price increases.
Hope you and Lila are doing great and having lots of fun together. They grow fast, don’t they?
Saw your blog on Blogs of The World. I’m there too, just a new listing. I love the new fibre pots you get now with plants from the nursery instead of the plastic ones. Don’t you hate passing by homes seeing all those discarded plastic pots out on the curb waiting for someone to pick them up?
Does anyone know what company is doing the recycling for them? I wanted to grab some of the pots for my gardening group, but they have all been picked up.
