Greenhouse, tray planter recycling

Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful is conducting a special recycling event for greenhouse trays and planters through June 6.

Locally, residents may bring their clean, empty plastic trays and planters (no dirt and soil) to Bench Farms, 9152 Jerusalem Rd., Curtice. Drop-offs can be made during regular operating hours.

Each spring, thousands of plastic greenhouse trays and planters are left over after planting season, but these items are not accepted in curbside recycling.

The collected materials will be properly recycled through a specialized recycling partner, helping to reduce waste and promote sustainability across the region.
