All Bachman’s Floral, Gift & Garden Centers
We are thrilled to again participate in the popular plastic garden pot recycling program, sponsored by the Minnesota Nursery & Landscape Association (MNLA). Plastic pots take up substantial space in landfills; they do not readily decompose and remain intact for many years. Do your part to rescue plastic from the landfills, and recycle your pots, trays and hanging baskets at a neighborhood garden center.
To participate, bring your clean plastic garden pots, trays and baskets to any Bachman's Floral, Gift and Garden Center the weekend of June 16-17. There will be another opportunity on September 15-16. Please do not bring household plastic or clay pots. Be sure to dump all soil and remove metal hangers before recycling.
