AgRecovery is a rural recycling programme. Farmers and growers can drop off unwanted agrichemicals, containers, and farm plastics. It provides a safe and sustainable alternative to burning or dumping these items.
AgRecovery runs 12 recycling events per year. During these events, farmers can drop off agrichemical containers and drums, unwanted agrichemicals, used motor oil, and seed, feed and fertiliser bags.
AgRecovery recycles these items into useful materials. Items that can’t be recycled are disposed of in a safe manner.
We are proud to support this kaupapa through the Waste Minimisation Fund.
