Plastic Recycling Program at Hicks Nurseries

Hicks Nurseries is once again taking the lead in sustainable gardening with the return of its annual plastic recycling initiative, running from May 12 to July 17.

Since its launch in 2009, the program has kept more than 68,000 cubic feet of plastic garden waste out of landfills. In addition to recycling, Hicks Nurseries supports green gardening practices by offering a wide range of organic lawn care products, organic vegetables and herbs, and pollinator-friendly plants that help nurture a healthy ecosystem.

The program is open to all home gardeners. Accepted items include plastic garden pots, cell packs, and trays. To ensure proper recycling, participants must follow a few simple rules:
• Only garden plastics (pots, trays, cell packs) are accepted.
• No household plastics, food containers, plastic bags, or clay pots.
• Please remove all soil, rocks, and debris from containers.
• No metal, hangers, or other non-plastic items.

The recycling bin is located at the customer pick-up/loading area at Hicks Nurseries, 100 Jericho Turnpike, Westbury, NY. This program is not for commercial or landscaper use.
