Growers, farmers and chemical users throughout the state have until 27 April to book their unwanted chemicals with Australia’s largest AGVET chemical disposal service, for the statewide collection in June 2018.
ChemClear program manager, Frank Wimmler, said South Australian growers were committed to using the service to safely dispose of their unwanted agvet products. “Farmers have huge expenses and need to use all chemicals they purchase when possible, so they’re making great decisions when they buy what they need and use ChemClear to dispose of their leftover products,” he said.  Farmers often end up with chemicals they can’t reuse and property owners may inherit chemicals when they buy land, when they switch crops or buy specific use chemicals for one-off pest events.

“It’s easy to get involved, simply make a list of all surplus and unknown chemicals, then
contact ChemClear or go to our online registration portal to book them for the upcoming
collection before 27 April,” Mr Wimmler said.

ChemClear is trialling a joint collection with MobileMuster, so chemical users can drop off
both their unwanted mobiles and accessories on their scheduled delivery day. MobileMuster’s Spyro Kalos said the collaboration will make it easy for rural residents to
responsibly dispose of both their mobile phones and chemicals in one convenient
collection. “This is a great initiative that tackles two waste streams and gives residents the opportunity to declutter their home or workspace in a safe, secure and environmentally sound way,” Mr Kalos said.
