used plant pots

[john snapdragon]

Morning all, we're landscapers based in Stapleton,Leics, and appear to have a large excess of plant pots all sizes from 1 up to 10litres. We wondered if anyone could make use of them as we really don't want to just chuck them in a skip. Basically all free to a good home but donations to Christmas party fund are always welcome. Anyone interested feel free to message me for collection details, or does anybody have any suggestions on how else to recycle them, there's about ten bulk bags of them!!! Cheers.

Have you tried offering them on freecycle?

I have bought used pots on eBay. The seller sells them ever year, so I suspect they are landscape planters or similar. They box them up into the sort of cardboard boxes that are used for fruit (although in fairness they are only 9cm pots) and they travel well enough. They include a reasonable for carriage, so are clearly making sure they don't lose on that, but it works out cheap for me as a customer.

Here's an example which is similar to the auctions I have bought from (may even be the same supplier!)

Thanks for ideas guys, will try freecycle as well. Did think of ebay but really just wanted to off load quickly to anyone who can make use of them whilst we were having a sort out as we do have really large pile of them...
Cheers all
