| | | Why? | - Currently, the only legal means for disposing plastic containers is RECYCLING and some landfills.
| | | | - Burning any plastic in the northwest is illegal. Recycling offers an environmentally sound alternative, and leaves more room in landfills for products that cannot be recycled.
| | | | - Recycling makes sense and its free to those who use crop protection products. Help promote a positive image by recycling your plastic containers.
| | | | | We've made a great start, but need many more people to join this very positive effort. Our recycling program can help you! Join in to do your part to protect the environment and reuse a resource. The service is free. |
