Plastic Plant pots - recycled

I would like to know of anyway I can recycle plastic plant pots, as I have loads?

I don't want them to go 'into' a landfill site. image

    I teach in a school where we do gardening with pupils. If your pots are cean and small 3 or 4 inch I imagine your local school would love them. Not the broken snail hotel carrier bags of tatty plastic which is old and brittle though!

    Advertise your plastic pots 'on offer' for free on 'Freecycle'. 

    Gardeners/allotmenters local to your postcode will snap them up...with pleasure!

  • I also have loads of pots to give away, my garage is bursting with them.

  • Anyone close to tenterden
  • I'm in Leighton Buzzard Beds, I found a Freecycle here, thanks to Lacewing.

  • Sorry for late reply but I wasn't sent an email response and busy at work but thank you all for your replys.

    I am on my local Freecycle and will advertise there.

    By the way I'm in Basingstoke, Hampshire...

    Too wet and cold-if they had come though it will have been to early in any case-tip a couple of pots out you will either have a squishy mess or a rooting bean.

    There is plenty of time to resow.
