Frequently Asked Questions
All containers must be empty and triple-rinsed or power washed. Containers must have booklets, labels, foil liners, and any metal removed. Any container larger than a 2.5 gal. container must be cut up into pieces no larger than 2ft by 2ft. For example, a 5 gal. bucket must be cut directly in half. A 30 gal. or 50 gal. barrel must be cut into 8 pieces.
Foil liners and label booklets need to be removed so that they do not contaminate the plastic for recycling. The caps of pesticide containers are a different type of plastic and are thicker so they do not melt properly in the recycling process, and thus they need to be removed.

Once 40,000 lbs. of plastic is collected, it is shipped to an approved Ag Container Recycling Council facility to be washed, re-melted into pellets, and used in construction of field drain pipe.
