FYI: Ag plastic containers to be collected for recycling next month

By Billie Owens

The Genesee County Soil & Water Conservation District is planning the next collection of ag plastic containers for recycling in between June 11-29 (exact date to be determined). A second pickup is planned for late September / early October.

Acceptable containers:
•       1-gallon jugs to 55-gallon barrels made from #2 high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
•       250-gallon totes accepted but must have all metal removed and be cut into 2' x 2' strips
•       5-gallon buckets must have metal handle removed
•       All containers must have caps and booklet removed and MUST be clean, empty, and pressure rinsed or triple rinsed

Pre-registration is required. Please call us to advise of the approximate amount of containers you will have for pickup. Collection dates and locations are based on the anticipated amount to be collected. Large plastic bags in which to store your clean containers are available free through our office.
