Montana Department of Agriculture's Pesticide Container Recycling Program

The Montana Department of Agriculture's (MDA) pesticides and fertilizers division has a recycling truck that will be making it's rounds around Montana this summer. While the schedule is not up yet, it will be soon and can be found by visiting http://agr.mt.gov/pestfert/disposal.asp and clicking on the link "container recycling schedule".

All pesticide containers that are #2 HDPE plastic can be recycled. All containers must be triple-rinsed to ensure that they are clean and there are special steps that must be taken for anything larger than 5 gallon containers. For more information about this, visit http://agr.mt.gov/pestfert/miscpdf/Recycling%20Brochure.pdf

There is also a permanent link to the container recycling program under the "Links" section of this page.
