Chemical container disposal

Craney

New Member
I have just built a new chemical store and filling area for my sprayers, and am considering container disposal, the standard method is obviously to use the solway bin and liner system but the inevitable result of this is a large pile of bags of empty cans which take up a lot of space in my store and look horrendous! I was wondering if anyone had had experience using some sort of can crusher or baler to condense the empty cans down into less space consuming form?

TIA

I just put them back in their cardboard boxes and store them in the dry. After each batch of spraying I, line them all up and drive the tractor over them. Pick a dry day so they don't get too wet/muddy. They don't take up much space in the wheelie bin afterwards.

That’s for making sure you get maximum amount possible in the wheelie bin!

We put them in a empty 1 t feed bag. Hold with 1 forklift and then lower a bag 600kg of fertiliser in with the other forklift to compress.
