Do you have empty pesticide containers to recycle?

You can recycle clean, dirt and residue free, triple-rinsed

plastic containers. For triple rinse procedures, see the Ag

Container Recycling Council (ACRC) website at

http://www.acrecycle.org and select the link for Container

Rinsing.

All size containers up to 55-gallon capacity plastic drums

can be accepted. Containers need to be made from high

density polyethylene (HDPE) and embossed with recycling

symbol #2.

No pre-registration is needed for dropping off empty,

triple-rinsed pesticide containers. There is no charge for this

service.

Parts of Oregon encompass intensively man-

aged agriculture lands where a wide variety

of pesticides are applied and held in storage.

This is an opportunity for growers to clean

their storages of unwanted materials. Old and

unused pesticides can enter waterways through leaching, flooding,

or runoff. Chemicals collected from the this area and disposed of

are removed as threats to water quality. Help protect our water, air

and soil by bringing your old and unused

pesticides to this collection event for proper

disposal.

Thank you for being good stewards!
