Not sure if this has been posted? It's designed to allow people to post their unwanted & wanted junk for others in your area to take. Everything is free. http://www.freecycle.org
I looked through some of the stuff in my area and there is everything from household items to a free sailboat. I saw a few people looking for & giving away plants too. It might take a little time to weed through the ridiculous wanted posts but it certainly could be worth your time. I was thinking it might be a good place to ask for nursery pots... or maybe used bricks & rocks for landscaping.
All the forums are set up on the Yahoo group lists. If you haven't signed up to a yahoo group before it's prolly best NOT to allow the e-mails to be sent to your e-mail box. You will be overloaded with mail if you do. There's a check box to click when signing up if you don't want to get the e-mails sent directly to you. It's easier to just go to the message board and view the posts.
