Recycling plastic pots

[ChrisLud]

Went to Bunnings in fountain gate, Vic today with a tub of plastic pots.  The usual container for the pots was not outside.  Spoke to one of the staff who advised that they are not collecting pots for recycling any longer.  Was advised to put the in the garbage bin as they cannot go into the kerbside recycle bin.  Was very disappointed as I had driven there,  passing 2 other Bunnings that do not collect pots.

Hi @ChrisLud,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent experience at the Fountain Gate warehouse.

I have contacted the Fountain Gate store, who are currently undertaking their stocktake, which adds some complications to regular store operations. Unfortunately, their regular leadership team were not available to assist and will not be back in the store until tomorrow.

I will get in touch with Fountain Gate tomorrow to pass on your feedback and see what is going on.

Please bear with me.

Jacob

Hi @ChrisLud,

I do apologise for the inconvenience. There seems to have been a bit of a miscommunication. Bunnings Fountain Gate, though in the process of transferring to a new location, is still accepting pots for recycling, they just don't have the usual drop-off area available at the front of the store. It is now located at the back, and if you'd like to speak to Sharron in the gardening section, or if she's not in, let a team member know that Sharron is more than happy for them to take the pots, and she will have them recycled.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mitchell
