The annual Rinse & Return plastic pesticide container recycling program is scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Aug. 3, at the Hardin County Garage on Bacon Creek Road.
Plastic pesticide containers less than five gallons, that have been triple rinsed or pressure rinsed, with labels and caps removed, that are clean on the outside as well, will be accepted for recycling after an inspection.
The program is free of charge to all Hardin County residents. This program is a cooperative effort by Hardin County Farm Bureau, local ag retailers, Hardin Fiscal Court and the County Extension Service.
Also on Aug. 3, a drone technology field day is being planned at Chuck Crutcherâs Farm on Berrytown Road in Rineyville as well as some neighboring farms.
For 30 years, local cattleman Doug Shepherd has worked and volunteered in many capacities in the county and state. Now, he has been given a rare distinction for his efforts.
