Seed and pesticide bag collections
There are now more opportunities than ever to recycle your ag waste products, thanks to CleanFarms [1].
This year, CleanFARMS will offer a program in major agricultural regions of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes to collect and safely dispose of empty seed and pesticide bags. Depots for free collection are located throughout Ontario [2].
What bags will be accepted?
- Empty pesticide bags: paper, plastic and multi-material
- Empty seed bags: paper and polywoven plastic bags; regular and bulk bags
If you are unsure whether your bag is included in this collection, please call CleanFarms at: 1 (877) 622-4460 x 2227
Preparation steps
- Obtain a free plastic bag from your local collection sites [2]
- Ensure that seed or pesticide bags are empty
- Place the empty bags in the collection bag
- Return your full, tied bags to a particular retail location. Bags will be accepted free of charge and sent for safe disposal
Bulk bags that cannot fit in the plastic bag should be piled in a bulk bag.
Note: The empty seed and pesticide bag program is for seed and pesticide bags only (not feed bags).
