Dakota Valley Recycling

DVR is the partnership recycling department for the Cities of Apple Valley, Eagan and Burnsville
that connects residents and businesses to recycling, composting and waste disposal information.

The Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association (MNLA) began the garden pot recycling environmental initiative in the spring of 2006.  Plastic pots take up substantial space in landfills; they do not readily decompose and remain intact for many years. 

Do your part to rescue plastic from the landfills, and recycle your plastic pots, trays and hanging baskets at a neighborhood garden center!  Just bring clean, plastic garden pots to the drop sites.  Many companies will take plastic all season, while some sites will take pots only on two special recycling weekends.

For more information about the specific sites, go to the GardenMinnesota.com web site

  • Collection sites ONLY accept PLASTIC pots, trays and baskets
  • Do not bring household plastic or clay pots (garden/plant only)
  • Dump all soil and remove metal hangers
  • Note that some garden centers do not have an ongoing collection, please ask a staff person for more details
