Ag Recycling Day planned for August 3rd

The Dubois County Solid Waste District is holding the annual Agriculture Recycling Day on Wednesday, August 3 from 8:00 a.m. To 12 p.m.

Dubois County farmers and natural resource managers are invited to bring their empty triple-rinsed pesticide containers to be recycled. Last year over 2000 containers and 750 gallons of oil were recycled and during this event.

The district is encouraging farmers and resource managers to recycle again this year.

Oil will be accepted this year; however, there will be a $15 per drum fee, and drums must arrive on pallets or be able to be easily slid onto a pallet. Drums will be emptied and be available for pick up at a later date.

The event takes place at the District’s Process Center, located at 1103 South 350 West, just outside of Jasper. Farmers and resource managers can call the office at 812-482-7865 for additional information on the event.
