Nebraska Recycles Pesticide Containers

For the 17th year in a row, Nebraska is accepting and recycling plastic pesticide containers at 39 sites throughout the state.

Each year, Nebraska goes through over a million agricultural pesticide containers of various sizes. Because many of the containers are made of plastic that can be recycled, the state has set up collection sites to keep them out of landfills.
