ChemClear is coming to town to collect unwanted farm chemicals and containers from the Yea Resource Recovery Centre in February 2020.

To take advantage of this service, you must register the chemicals you want to dispose of at www.chemclear.org.au by November 30, 2019.

It will be free to dispose of AgVet chemicals that have a DrumMuster logo on the containers. If you have other chemicals or containers, just register them on ChemClear’s website and they’ll get in touch with you to provide an obligation-free quote for disposal.

From weed control to livestock drenching, you’d be hard-pressed to find a farmer’s shed anywhere that doesn’t feature a shelf of chemical drums.

Murrindindi Shire Council Infrastructure and Waste Portfolio Councillor, Eric Lording said this is a great opportunity to clean up your shed and get rid of chemicals that potentially pose a risk to your land or water if you dispose of them at home. If these kind of chemicals wind up in landfill, the environmental risk and damage can be significant.

“Council is really pleased to be working with ChemClear to bring this fantastic service to our farmers. I really encourage you to take advantage of it,” Cr Lording said.
