containers. If the label on your container carries the drumMuster symbol,
triple rinse the container, ring your local Council, and offer the container
for collection in the program.
If on-site container disposal is necessary, triple rinse empty container with
water, add rinsate to the spray tank. Puncture top, sides and bottom, crush
and bury in an approved landfill or bury with at least 500 mm of soil cover
away from pasture and crop areas, water supplies and houses.
If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or
designated collection point.
If not recycling, puncture or shred and bury containers in local authority
landfill.
Returnable containers: empty contents fully into application equipment.
Replace cap, close all valves and return to the point of supply for refill or
storage.
