 Beginning the middle of August and continuing into September,
sites throughout the State will collect the empty containers
which will be recycled and made into shipping pallets, plastic
lumber, and other useful products.
Collection will be offered in Lincoln for all of Logan County on
August 30th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the AgLand FS.
“This program offers farmers and agrichemical facilities a
convenient opportunity to dispose of empty pesticide containers
while also helping to protect the environment,” said John
Sullivan, Director, IDOA. “I encourage farmers to gather any
containers they may have been planning to throw out and take
them to the nearest collection site to be repurposed.”
Metal and household pesticide containers are not eligible for
the recycling program. Collection sites will accept only
high-density polyethylene, #2 plastic agrichemical containers
that are clean and dry. Participants are responsible for rinsing
them and removing all caps, labels, booklets, and foil seals.

The program is a cooperative venture between the
Illinois Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Container Recycling
Council, GROWMARK, Inc., Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical
Association, G. Phillips and Sons, L.L.C., Illinois Farm Bureau, and
the University of Illinois Extension.
