SA growers have until April 27 April to book unwanted chemicals for a statewide ChemClear collection in June 2018.
ChemClear program manager Frank Wimmler said SA primary producers were committed to using the service to safely dispose of their unwanted agvet products.
“Farmers have huge expenses and need to use all chemicals they purchase when possible, so they are making great decisions when they buy what they need and use ChemClear to dispose of their leftover products,” he said.
“Farmers often end up with chemicals they can’t reuse and property owners may inherit chemicals when they buy land, when they switch crops, or buy specific use chemicals for one- off pest events.
“It is easy to get involved, simply make a list of all surplus and unknown chemicals, then contact ChemClear or go to our online registration portal to book them for the upcoming collection before 27 April.”
ChemClear is trialing a joint collection with MobileMuster so chemical users can drop off both their unwanted mobiles and accessories on their scheduled delivery day.
