Allison Sloan of Shady Grove Wildflower Farm in Evanston collects pots for reuse! You can drop off pots at 918 Wesley in Evanston. Allison says, “Any sizes smaller than gallon, preferably with no logos and no cracks. Cleaned and stacked even better! Trays are useful too.”
Check with your own favorite garden center to ask if they collect pots for reuse.

You can still drop it off on the front porch of 1315 Central Avenue until Sunday, January 9, 2022 at 6pm. (Do not drop off at Public Works!)
Styrofoam will be taken to Abt Electronics to be melted into a material that can be reused. Thanks to UMF/Perfect Clean Corporation for the use of their van for transporting the materials.
Remember:
  • Styrofoam is not collected in Wilmette’s curbside program
  • White Styrofoam only
  • No peanuts
  • No food containers
