Flower Pot Recycling
The Arboretum has teamed up with a local recycler in an effort to keep thousands of plastic flower pots and trays out of the landfills. Drop off dirt-free, stacked and unbagged plastic garden pots and trays in a container located in the Arboretum parking lot, near the paper recycling bins.

When you visit the Arboretum:
Help us protect the wildlife and keep the nature sanctuary grounds clean by disposing of waste properly. Recycling bins for Plastic, Glass, Aluminum and Paper are located near the front entrance. Trash cans are also available.

Please note: these containers are offered for convenience of recycling cans or bottles used at the Arboretum. For locations to drop off your household recycling in Houston, click here to go to the City of Houston Solid Waste Department's Recycling information.
