Garden Plastic Recycling at Goldner Walsh
Have you ever considered how many plastic pots and flats end up in landfills? We think far too many and we’re doing something about it!
Goldner Walsh Garden & Home has opened Oakland County's first public collection center for used plastic garden pots and flats. Thanks to new technology, our collection center can accept any plastic container – no matter what type of plastic. This project, a part of our Green Initiative, is leading the way to encourage environmentally responsible management of garden plastics. We will recycle thousands of pounds of petroleum-based plastics that would otherwise end up in local landfills.
Here are few key points about the program:
-
Pots and flats need to be free of debris and neatly stacked – they do not have to be washed.
-
Collection center open during regular business hours.
Goldner Walsh Garden & Home has always been committed to company-wide involvement in environmental practices and is extending our passion
for recycling to our customers.
Goldner Walsh is proud to announce it is on it's 5th load of garden plastics that we have recycled along with paper, cardboard, metal and glass totaling over 4000 lbs or 100 cubic feet of recyclable material that we diverted from going to the landfill mostly from our own operation.
This photo is an example of what Goldner Walsh generates in recyclable garden plastics in about 3 weeks. We have reduced our disposal from 12 yards per week to less than 2 yards per week because of our aggressive commitment to on site recycling and composting.
We encourage our customers to participate at home if they have curb side recycling and we are still offering drop off of any garden plastics (free of debris and neatly stacked) at GW during regular business hours
