drumMUSTER - your council now running monthly collections
Metal and Plastic farm chemical drums WILL NOT be taken at the Karoonda Recycling Depot. The District Council of Karoonda East Murray has drumMUSTER collection days for recycling of this material.
Collections will be run the first Thursday of every month excluding January.
Appointments must be made by phoning 8578 1004 with your drum numbers! or for more information.
All farm chemical users within the Karoonda East Murray region are encouraged to bring their empty 1 – 205L, properly cleaned, non-returnable, steel and plastic farm chemical containers to the Council Depot for inspection and collection.
Remember all drums must be correctly cleaned both inside and out (including caps and threads) and allowed to air dry to ensure they contain no rinse water in line with the "Agsafe Standard for Effective Rinsing of Farm Chemical Containers" brochure available from chemical retail outlets.
Containers larger than 205L unclean or partly filled containers will not be accepted at our drumMUSTER site, these will remain the property of the chemical user.
Council looks forward to your support in rinsing out, rounding up, and running in all your empty, properly cleaned, non-returnable farm chemical containers.
