♻️ HOW MANY OF YOU USED OUR PLASTIC RECYCLING PROGRAM THIS SUMMER? ♻️
“What?! HillTop has a plastic recycling program?”
Yup. We sure do! 🙌
If you purchased from us, you get to recycle with us! 💚♻️
❗️It only runs from MID-JUNE through AUGUST
And there’s a reason for that!❗️🗓️
Why only during those months?🗣️
I’m glad you asked!
By mid-summer, our greenhouse is hopefully looking pretty empty. 🤞 That gives our team a little breathing room to tackle the not-so-glamorous, behind-the-scenes work that keeps HillTop running.
Sorting greenhouse plastic is a bit like the matching game you played as a kid! 🧩
Different sizes, shapes, and styles all need to be sorted and matched. Once everything is organized, it gets stacked on pallets so we can get ready for inventory.📝
And here’s another piece of the puzzle, our plastic orders ideally need to be placed in October!🤦🏼♀️🤪
➡️That’s why our plastic return program takes place during the summer months.
Let’s have a little fun while we are chatting about plastic.
The pot in the photo is a 4.5” container.
We sell our herbs, zinnias and select veggies in this size. 🙃
❓How many 4.5” containers did we uses in 2026?
