Have any tree pots laying around that you don't want to throw away but you don't have a use for them? We recycle all size tree pots, small medium large and extra large. If you're in Salem you can drop them by the tree shed at 620 South Douglas across from the golf course. We'd be happy to recycle these pots and appreciate your contribution.
Thank you thank you! To everyone who has brought tree pots to the tree shed.
We greatly appreciate your willingness to recycle!
