2020 marks the 10th anniversary of Cleanfarms in Canada. Our industry-funded programs recover inorganic ag waste for recycling or safe disposal. Our programs and partnerships are supported by a coast-to-coast network of ag industries, ag retailers, municipalities and growers’ groups. To them, and to farmers across the country who use Cleanfarms’ programs, we say thank you for making the first decade a great success.
Cleanfarms started as a non-profit industry stewardship organization focused on recycling small pesticide and fertilizer jugs, and now:
65% of these containers are recovered for recycling annually ~1600 collection sites.
Through the decade we’ve expanded, forging new partnerships with stakeholders who share a common purpose – to leave our world as good or better environmentally than when we began.
Working with stakeholders through four office locations – Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta –we’re constantly innovating to offer solutions that help farmers keep operations clean and efficient:
Tonnes of empty ag-plastic jugs & containers
Tonnes of used grain bags, film and twine for recycling
Tonnes of empty seed, pesticide and fertilizer bags for proper disposal
Tonnes of old, unwanted pesticides and livestock/equine medications
