Do plants go in the recycling bin?

Posted at: 2015-05-24 
well no, the recycling bin is more for cans plastic of sorts and glass& ect... but whaT YOU should do is make a compost bin/heap for you plants/yard trimmings any dead organic matter. put 4 stakes in the ground and wire tie some chicken wire fencing around it! use eggshells fruit veggies your throwing out, leaves grass pizza cardboards so on! have fun and use your compost in your plants if their flowers thew will grow immensly and smell stronger. but if you have fruit bareing plants get ready for take off. they spring up and grom fruit the size of your fist and BIGGER atleast mine do i have pepper plants fruits berries veggies nuts AND SO ON. so good luck and goodbye!

It is true!

When you put things in the recycle that aren't recycclable, it contaminates the recyclable stuff and makes everything have to get thrown out.

So put stuff in the recycle that belong in the recycle.

Weeds and stuff in the garbage.

So many cities will give out compost containers cuz its to there benefit as well having less things at the rd for pick up. U can put so much in a compost container and that weed stuff is an important part as its acidic, and aids in faster breakdown. Worms climb in there and eat all rotting stuff and convert to the finest fertilizer. I know you didnt need to know but interesting, a healthy large worm can eat a pound of junk a day. W/o thinkin, thats a few 100 times its body weight, cool eh! (oh, he,s a Canadian:)). You probably live an apartment and have no place for garden,lol. I did try, though,hehe

Garbage. Plants are not recyclable. They are biodegradable though, so if you had a compost pile you could put them in there.

Recyclable materials:

Glass

Plastic

Paper

Aluminum cans

They go in your yard waste recycling bags, available for purchase at Lowes or HOme Depot!

We cannot put vegetative waste in the garbage or recycling in MN.

No they go in garbage or green waste. Recycling is for strictly plastic, glass, cans, and paper.

you cant put in the recycling bin. most citys have bulk pick up for yard waste and home item so check into it

you should create a compost pile.

In Cleveland, we got two free cans, one for garbage and one for recycling. And if we put the wrong things in the recycling bin we get charged but, i kinda think thats not true lol but anyway i was pulling weeds yesterday andi put the weeds in the garbage can. I was wondering do they belong in the garbage can or the recycling can?
