If you don't get any thru trade, try calling local landscaping companies. They usually throw these away and would be glad if someone wants them. Good luck.

That, or look ask neighbors who have recently done a lot of landscaping if they have any plastic plant containers they would like to get rid of. It works!

try a Google search

I'd have to check the garage on how many I've got gall sized nursery and larger. Whereabouts are ya Mike?

I'm in St Clair Shores.

I'll see how many there are if you're interested.

Have you ever tried craigslist.org?
You can post for free in the "WANTED" section, and you can also check the "FREE" section to see if anyone is giving away their plant containers. I have acquired many plant containers this way. Most people are so appreciative to have someone take the old planters away!

Craigslist started out in San Francisco, but has since spread nationwide. There should be a craigslist for Detroit...

You can also try Freecycle.com. There must be a chapter in your area. Post a wanted. You'll be amazed at the response if they are anything like the Freecyclers in Columbus.
