Sites in regions at Alert Level 2

A quick guide for recycling at Alert Level 2 demonstrates how container drop-offs at collection sites will be managed.

Key points to note are:

  • Contact your local collection site ahead of time to see if specific check-in procedures are required.
  • Scan the site’s QR Code on arrival.
  • Wear a face covering and maintain physical distancing of 2 metres at all times during the drop-off and inspection process.
  • If you are unwell, please stay at home.

Make sure you read our guidance on dropping off containers to sites during Alert Level 2.

Keep triple-rinsing containers

Make sure you are triple-rinsing containers correctly, see:

On-farm collections for regions in Alert Level 2

Call us for an on-farm collection if you have:

  • four or more empty drums over 60 litres size; or
  • 300 or more agrichemical containers, from participating brands

Your health is of the utmost importance to us, and we all need to ensure any pick-ups are contactless. Our driver will have Personal Protective Equipment and will log details of the collection.
