High-density polyethylene is commonly recycled into plastic lumber, tables, benches, truck cargo liners, trash receptacles, and other durable plastic products. Monrovia highly encourages recycling our plant containers and all household recyclables. To find out which plastics are accepted in your local area, contact your community's solid waste department.
Monrovia is a proud sponsor of the Missouri Botanical Gardens Pots to Planks initiative, a program that turns recycled garden containers into usable landscape lumber. In 2007, the program kept more than 100,000 pounds of plastic garden containers from entering the waste stream.
Shipping efficiency
Our next challenge in efficiency comes when our plants are shipped. We lead the industry in loading practices that maximize the number of plants we ship per load, reducing our overall load count.
