We may lose the option to dispose of triple rinised spray containers as non-hazerdous waste for recycling due to a failure by some people to make adequate effort to rinse out their empty cans.
It is very important that empty spray cans are properly triple rinsed to maintain their non-hazardous classification for recycling.

The option to dispose of empty agrochemical spray cans for recycling could be under threat because some farmers did not ensure they were properly rinsed before presenting them to a recycling centre. Recent crosschecks at recycling centres found cans that were not adequately rinsed and others that were not rinsed at all.
This activity threatens the non-hazardous classification of agrochemical containers and the recycling option could be withdrawn. Farmers are urged to ensure that the correct washing procedure is followed to protect this recycling option.
