The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center has teamed up with Gulf Coast Recycling in an effort to make recycling your flower pots as easy as possible. Drop off dirt-free, stacked and unbagged plastic garden pots and trays at the Arboretum for recycling. Grounds to the Arboretum are open 7 days/week and gate hours are 7 a.m.to 7 p.m. The Arboretum is located at 4501 Woodway Drive on the western edge of Memorial Park, just inside 610 Loop West.

Please spread the word and help us keep thousands of pots out of the landfill by recycling them at the Arboretum. For more information contact 713-681-8433 or email.

Got paper?? Bring your paper and crushed cardboard boxes with you and recycle them in our Paper Retriever Recycling bins located right next to the flower pot recycling container!
