- Plastic Pesticide Container Processing Steps
- Items that Will Not Be Accepted and Will Be Returned to the Participant
- Non-Waxy Cardboard Collection
- Plastic Pesticide Container Processing Steps
- All pesticide containers must be either triple rinsed or pressure rinsed, drained and dry inside;
- All pesticide containers must be free of residue (other than stains);
- The booklet must be removed (it is not necessary to remove the paper labels glued to the container);
- Foil seal must be removed;
- Only non-refillable pesticide containers will be accepted – you must drill a ¼-inch hole in the bottom of the container or with a utility knife make a 6-inch slit in the bottom of the container so the container will not hold liquids;
- Only pesticide containers embossed with HDPE or the recycling #2 will be accepted;
- Pesticide containers up to 55 gallons in capacity will be accepted. However, you must cut the 55 gallon containers into at least 8 pieces and the 30 gallon containers into at least 4 pieces. This can be accomplished using a sawszall, chainsaw, circular saw, or reciprocating saw. These materials must be baled separately so do not commingle them with the containers 2.5 gallons or less in size - please keep them separate; and
- Pesticide containers must have originally held an EPA registered pesticide.
- Items that Will Not Be Accepted and Will Be Returned to the Participant
- Pesticide containers with dried formulation on the container, pour spout or the spout threads;
- Pesticide containers with any liquid residue;
- Pesticide containers where the insides are caked with dried residue;
- Mini-bulk, saddle tanks and nurse tanks, which can be made of fiberglass;
- Pesticide containers with lids; or
- Containers that held any type of petroleum oil product or antifreeze.
- Non-Waxy Cardboard Collection
At the Atlantic and Salem County collection sites, Helena Chemical will also be accepting, at no charge, non-waxy cardboard since their products are sold to the end users in cardboard boxes. Non-waxy cardboard will be accepted every Friday during the months of April through October 2008 from 1 to 3 p.m. The clean non waxy cardboard must be broken down and flattened. Clean non-waxy cardboard will also be accepted year-round at the Cumberland County Solid Waste Complex’s Convenience Center.
