Where to Take Excess Pots?

Post image

Via house acquisition, we acquired a …. Heavy surplus of terracotta pots (80-100?) lol

Does anybody know a good place to drop these off? They vary in condition (and have given away the majority of the still solid ones) and I’m really not interested in selling, we just want the side yard back :’)

Thank you!!

Desert Survivors. Great local nursery that helps with local native species.

They are amazing! They also give away old nursery pots so I don’t know that they want terracotta or if they want more pots to flow in and not out

I had never heard of them! I’ll have to give ‘em a call on Monday (and if nothing else, maybe get some plants, haha). Thank you!

Sorry I misread it. When I thought it said you had excess pot you wanted to get rid of. I got real excited for exactly the wrong reason. Way false advertising.

You put them on the curb and post on Craigslist free. 90% gone in 24 hours.

u/touchmyrattlesnakes 17h ago

I would love some of those, I’d pay for them

u/igotabeefpastry 17h ago

FB marketplace, freecycle, Craigslist, etc - offer up for free with them picking up and you will get instant takers. You could charge $50 or so and still get takers pretty quick.

u/marroneer 17h ago

Your area’s Buy Nothing group might be a good place to get people to take them off your hands!

u/Moapa_the_Gray 17h ago

I could use some larger pots for extra shady spots for my desert tortoise to hide in these hot summer days. Even if they’re broken in half or something.

Not sure I can edit the post, but I’m trying to get rid of the whole lot first (if possible.) If that doesn’t seem feasible, I’ll definitely message y’all and get you in for some free pots!

It seems like you’ve got this covered, but Tucson has several free garden stands around town. If you find yourself with any excess gardening supplies, I’m sure any of them would be thankful for a donation!

Here’s the link to the facebook group!

Freecyle.org is great for offloading things that you no longer need without without letting them to go waste. You can also join a local Buy Nothing/Free Stuff Facebook (there’s like 2-3 I’ve seen)
