Recycling has become more and more popular as our awareness of environmental concerns grow. These environmental concerns have led to increased participation in recycling efforts among today\u27s farmers.

Recycling of empty containers provides a safe means of disposal for applicators, reduces landfill space, and protects our valuable water resources
