I can't answer for everyone but I can tell all of our 4 litre jugs and 20 litre car boys are recylclable. (Usually they just have to be rinsed out). Normally if you look at the bottom of the jug, if you see a number inside of a triangle - it is recyclable.

Here we recylcle both new and used drums, all of our cardboard is returned and our waste contractor will show us where to go or who to call for recylcing. I know in Peel Region there are 3 waste depots where you can take your material.

I would suggest that if you call your municiaplity or region they will have ample information on where you can go. If you use the services of a waste contractor they can be helpful.

We at KK offer a bulk fill-your-own bottling station. It never went over.

We also attempted to take returns and remove the labels and wash them out.

  • We were accused of using used jugs
  • It cost us more for cleaning labour than the jug is worth

Now you can purchase Portion-Pac chemical in small bags. This not only makes sense for the dump site but it also allows your operators the exact amount needed with no waste + cheaper shipping due to concentrations. Guess what? It never went over.

I guess people in general take a long time to change attitudes. We see this also in our sales of safer, less toxic products. People always ask "What's New?" yet are rarely interested.

The one that gets me is a company developed plastic bags filled with cleaning solutions that actually dissolved when put into water and solution. Concentrated, proportionately measured and no waste to go to the dump.

I guess the world is just not ready for it yet. Maybe they should have hired nightrider as their marketing wizard.

Not here on the left coast Jim- I got sent packing a few time when I went to the recycling center. They said NO chemical containers.How silly.
Certified to be certifiable.
