Upcoming Flower Pot Recycling Days:
There are no upcoming Flower Pot Recycling Days set at this time.
Ryan Enterprise accepts plastic flower pots. We work with various
groups in Missouri to coordinate recycling days for plastic flower pots. The Master Gardeners, Garden Clubs, University
of Missouri extension, Jefferson Institute, as well as local communities, commercial and retail garden centers have all participated
in these successful recycling events.
All events are organized and advertised in advance. Volunteers from the various groups will pick a central
location for the public to drop off their pots. Volunteers sort the flower pots and prepare them for grinding.
Once the flower pots have
been delivered to Ryan Enterprise, we grind all of the pots and blend the granulated plastic with other recycled material
to make our products.
If
you or an organization that you know are interested in holding a flower pot recycling day in your community, please give us
a call! We would love to help make your flower pot recycling day a success!
