Described herein are containers with tear-aways. The tear-aways make the containers easier to open. Containers described herein include pots with a closed bottom and an open top. These pots may be cylindrical, conical, rectangular, or any other shape. The pots may be made with a variety of materials, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) which is very dense and hard to tear. Tear-aways may be placed in various positions on a pot such that portions of the pot adjacent to the tear-aways may be separated from each other with ease. Tear-aways may also include hardened ends configured to be pulled.
