Spray jugs

[farmaholic]

Our town has the local cardboard recycling centre. They absolutely refuse chem boxes because of potential residue.

Rinsed jugs are bagged and taken to the retailer.

Extra amigo and unused old chemical taken in in the fall on the program by cleanfarms??

I read somewhere where rinsate beds are a coming bmp to be promoted which I am considering.

What does the rinsate bed entail? A pad or depression in the ground with lime or something to neutralize the pesticide?

I am shocked that a Saskatchewan farmer hasn't come up with a chemical box and jug fired boiler to heat their shop and house. Maybe dry some grain too.

Roundup barrels returned..used simplicity go dri and paradigm this yr..very few jugs/bottles to recycle.

From what I understand a rinsate bed is a lined raised bed of dirt about 1.5 or 2 ft deep. Maybe 20 x 20. Just guessing, grassy.

I was going to research it more in the winter.

I burn everything.....boxes jugs etc....the jugs burn hotter do it reduces to nothing....same with twine....


Recycling costs of moving to the common point is environmentally unfriendly as well.

My fire never lasts as long as a forest fire smoke. And no one has complained...yet. I don't see the issue with burning dumps....it takes up less space.

I burn the cardboard and the attached user guides, and return the jugs to a local landfill designated recycle site

I had to chuckle at that!

I recycle the jugs at collection site and most cardboard gets recycled too. Haven't been told not too but did wonder. I've started burning but give up cause unless you got a big fire pit that takes a long time in a barrel.

Last year they were shredding at the collection site when I was there. Had about 10 college kids with no gloves or masks on feeding the shredder. I asked the boss about the plastic, he said they send it to Quebec to make milk jugs! I've heard solid cast plastic things like benches and fence posts.

We are using barrels as much as possible. No rinse, just empty and return to retailer.
Any jugs we use go to local recycle depot at the dump and boxes get torched. Although occasionally jugs get torched with the boxes if I don't have enough to warrant a trip to the dump.

Totes are great, barrels should be refillable but never had one that is. Jugs and cardboard should be burnt hot imho. Any one ever get all the brown tar rinsed out of a jug of simplicity? I haven't and dont want that recycled into my next milk jug ever.
