Agricultural Plastics Recycling Events

Please save your plastic nursery pots and flats, baling twine, plastic soil amendment bags, and hay bale wrap! If the materials are dry and relatively clean (shake off any soil), they will be accepted FREE at this year’s agricultural plastics recycling events from noon to 4 p.m.

Orcas Island: Saturday May 3rd, County solid waste facility
San Juan Island: Sunday, May 4th, County Fairgrounds, 4-H building
Lopez Island: Saturday, May 17th, County solid waste facility

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO SORT YOUR NURSERY POTS BY NUMBER THIS YEAR!!!! Please do stack them by size and shape to facilitate storing and transporting them. Turn soil amendment bags inside out to shake out any remaining contents. Look for future display ads in your island’s newspaper for more details.

Recycled agricultural plastics are used to make truck bed liners, drain pipe, plastic lumber for benches, posts and pilings, automotive parts, tool handles, and trash bags.
