Plastic Plant Pot AND Canning Jar Swap Thursday, June 20-Tuesday, June 25, 12:00-7:00pm Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County, 615 Willow Avenue, Ithaca NY
LEAVE your plastic nursery pots, trays and cell packs IN GOOD CONDITION (no broken or torn plastic) in the designated area off the CCE-Tompkins main parking lot on Willow Avenue. NEED POTS? TAKE AWAY as many pots as you can use, too! If you're thinking of potting up some plants from the yard, sharing plants with a friend, or planning ahead to next year's seed starting, NOW IS THE TIME to get pots for FREE! Plastic that is left after the event will be taken to a recycler for processing. Recycle your plastic plant containers instead of throwing them away. NEW THIS YEAR - CANNING JAR SWAP! Canning jars must be empty, free of debris and in good condition (not broken). Please bring your canning jars to donate in boxes, not bags! All size canning jars are welcomed, but they must be true canning jars (no mayonnaise or sauce jars, please). Take away as many jars as you can use! The purpose of the swap is to promote reuse of pots and jars. Gardeners and canners appreciate this opportunity for reusing pots and canning jars. After June 25th, no more pots or jars will be accepted at Cooperative Extension. County residents can however, take these items to the Tompkins County Recycling/Solid Waste Center.
