Nebraska Pesticide Container Recycling
The 2007 edition of the Nebraska Plastic Pesticide Container Recycling program is up and running. Thirty-eight inspection / collection sites are available for applicators to deliver their rinsed, plastic pesticide containers to.
The program recycles rinsed and clean 2.5 gallon jugs and plastic crop protection drums of 15, 30, and 55 gallons. Applicators from a variety of sources may recycle the rinsed containers including farmers, ranchers, custom applicators, aerial applicators, household exterminators, lawn care operators, mosquito abatement programs, roads departments, park departments, etc. Household and residential plastic pesticide containers are not able to be accepted in this program. Once triple-rinsed, they may be disposed of as solid waste.

Information is also online about program guidelines, roles of participants, the recycling process, and more.
