May 14, 2021 – The Illinois Department of Agriculture will be offering free recycling for agrichemical containers. Farmers and agrichemical facilities are urged to save their empty containers for the upcoming recycling days says the agency’s Richard Severns.
“Through July 22nd all the way through August 11th the department will have 28 sides operating a single-day collection. There is one in the morning that will run from 9 to 11 am and one in the afternoon from 1 to 3 pm,” said Severns.
Containers must be clean and dry and be free of caps and labels. Mini and intermediate bulk containers must be cut into separate top, bottom, and sides with fittings removed.
