- Public Collection Sites in Washington: Most of our sites are private businesses. Many will let you bring your containers to their site for storage until we can collect them if you call and make arrangements prior to delivery. Please check our schedule and find the nearest collection location. Then call the location to find out if they will accept your containers.
Also, many pesticide dealerships participate in the recycling program. Check to see if your dealer will accept your empty containers and store them until we can pick them up.

| | 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. |
