Did you know that empty plant pots can’t be accepted at most council recycling facilities? To help with this, selected Bunnings stores are collecting used plastic plant pots and other plant packaging (such as stakes and labels). Simply return your plastic plant pots and stakes to your nearest participating store and, together with our program partners, we’ll help recycle them here in Australia. Returned pots are first shredded into plastic pellets. They can then be transformed into items such as brand-new plant pots, creating a completely circular solution. Customers are also welcome to take returned items home for reuse free of charge.
Accepted items
Plant pots Plant stakes We accept plastic plant packaging made from polypropylene plastic 5 (otherwise known as PP5). This includes all sizes of plant pots, labels and stakes. To find out what type of plastic your pot is made from, look for the plastic identification code on your pot. If it has a number ‘5’, you can recycle it with us.
Condition of items
Usable and unusable
Tap out any loose soil from inside your pots and give them a quick rinse. This is an important step, as the machinery used to recycle the plastics can be damaged by dirt.
Helpful tips
Stack your pots and drop them off in the collection cage we’ve set up outside our nursery gate at your nearest participating Bunnings store.
