Ag Container Recycling Council on Track to Break Collection Record for 2026

The Ag Container Recycling Council (ACRC) achieved its highest collection totals on record from January through September 2026. For those nine months, 8,329,618 lbs. were collected, which is 103% of the same period of collection in 2025. For the last quarter of 2026, ACRC is hoping to collect 2,825,737 lbs. to break the 2025 annual record.

The ACRC program accepts rigid high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers, 55 gallons and smaller, that previously held professional-use agricultural chemicals, including pesticides, animal health products, specialty pest control products, micronutrient products, biologicals, fertilizers, and/or adjuvants.

Please be sure you are responsibly disposing of your used ag containers, and join the ACRC in meeting its 2026 goal.
