AgRecovery

As from 7 April 2007, on the first Saturday of each month, tripled rinsed agriculture and forestry sector plastic chemical containers will be accepted between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm at the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park.

Containers must:

Be those of participating Agrecovery Brand Owners
Be 60 litres or smaller
Be triple rinsed
Be free from all residue, liquid and dry
Have the product label intact and legible
Be brought in and inspected during operational hours

Any containers that do not meet this criteria will be rejected, NO EXCEPTIONS. Container caps are not accepted.

Please contact the Ashburton District Council for a list of participating brand owners.

Triple rinsing is essential to the success of the programme. This is due to the potentially hazardous nature of the chemicals.

For more information on this service please check the website www.agrecovery.co.nz or contact the Ashburton District Council on 307 7700.

This programme is being introduced nationally from April 2007. It will ensure that the reprocessed plastic goes into applications that reflect the quality of the collected plastic. Potential applications include:

Drainage pipes and fittings
Culvert pipe
Cable cover
Plastic sheeting
Lighting and fence posts

Look out for the Agrecovery logo on chemical containers
