FAQs
I’m unable to fully drain my bulk pesticide containers? What’s next?
Drums and totes with excess product left inside should be safely stored inside, on-farm and brought in to Cleanfarms during the obsolete pesticide collection for safe disposal.
Why do we need to empty and seal the containers before we bring them to collection sites?
This is an important step that enables the totes and drums to be transported according to transport regulations. If containers are not empty and sealed the transporter cannot legally transport them.
Why do we need to keep the metal cages on the 1000L totes?
Cageless totes are not safe to transport. Our transporter is obliged to have metal cages on the totes in order to safely transport them.
