Pot recycling

At the Edendale nursery we do take back used tubes, trays, and pots that have been purchased here. We can wash them and re-use them, and you can return them to the nursery at any time. 

We do not collect other pots for recycling, however there are a few locations in, or close to, Nillumbik where these pots can be dropped off.

Here is a video on the recycling process

If you are in Nillumbik Shire and your pots are damaged or unusable then you should dispose of them in your red landfill bin. 

Even though black plastic pots are recyclable, the sorting equipment at the recycling facility (Cleanaway) cannot identify them and sorts them incorrectly. They use optical sorting technology.

Other council areas may have different rules about recycling dependant on how they manage their waste. If you live in another Shire or council area check out their website or give them a call to find out what you can or can't recycle in your area.
