Knowing how to recycle plastic containers from motor oil and farm chemicals is essential if you want to keep yourself and your family safe while also finding a thrifty use for those old jugs. While there are a few pointers you\u2019ll want to keep in mind when repurposing these used containers, know that recycling<\/a> is a great way to give new life to these items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most plastic containers are easy enough to repurpose on the farm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use them to store snacks, make watering cans or feed scoops, or even to start seeds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are certain types of plastic containers, though, that you probably don\u2019t want to repurpose. If you have a container that was used to store motor oil or various farm chemicals, like pesticides, it\u2019s probably not a good idea to use it to scoop out animal feed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this, you might be wondering what your other options are when the jugs run dry. Can you just throw them in the trash? Is that the most eco-friendly option?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While completely empty motor oil containers can go in the recycling cart in most instances, that isn\u2019t always the case. In some places, plastic containers should be put in the trash or brought to a donation or collection center for reuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic containers that are labeled with a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 symbol can usually be placed in the recycling bin if they are clean. Otherwise, contact your local authorities as to what you should do with your used containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, plastics are accepted by collection companies as long as they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
