Washington Pest Consultants Association
Container Collection Program
Container Requirements
1. Must be rinsed, so that no residue remains.
2. Must be clean and dry, inside and out, with no apparent odor.
3. Hard plastic lids and slip-on lids must be removed.
4. Glue-on labels may remain.
5. The majority of the foil seal must be removed from the spout. A small
amount of foil remaining on the container rim is acceptable.
6. Half pint, pint, quart, one and two-and-a-half gallon containers will
be accepted whole.
7. Five gallon containers will be accepted whole, if the lids and bails
are removed.
8. 30 gallon and 55 gallon containers are now being accepted if they are
cut into pieces no larger than 15*18 inches so that they will fit
into the granulating machine.
**Containers that do not meet the above criteria cannot be accepted.**

Our industry does not want pesticide containers to become a waste issue.
If we take the time to clean and recycle these products, we can save money,
show that the industry is responsible in its use of pesticides, and reduce
inputs to the waste stream. For more information about plastic pesticide
containers contact: Clarke Brown (509) 965-6809 or Steve George (509) 457-3850.
