Pesticide Container Recycling
Reminder for growers who are environmentally conscious! During 1999, 45,000
pounds of plastic containers were collected and recycled. In order to recycle,
containers should be free of any visible residue and labels removed (some paper
in the container is acceptable). Caps need to be removed and are not recyclable.
