Pesticide Container Recycling

Environmental responsibility is the main motivator for the dealers who participate in the MO-AG Clean Pesticide Container Recycling Program each year. This program has been recognized as the only crop protectant container collection program in the state.

MO-AG coordinates this volunteer effort for Missouri agrichemical dealers and growers. If you have participated in the program before, we trust you will again join the recycling effort. Please give this program serious consideration if you have not participated in the past. Why participate? This nationally known program has a positive impact on all Missourians by providing a cleaner environment, increased longevity of landfills and continued accessibility of agrichemicals.
