Look for the drumMUSTER logodrumMUSTER container logo

Chemical containers from participating manufacturers will display the drumMUSTER eligible container logo either as a sticker or embossed onto the wall of the container.

You can deliver empty, clean containers that display this logo to one of 814 national collection sites free of charge.

If the container does not have a logo, it may be because the manufacturer has opted out of the program. Alternatively, the container does not fall under the drumMUSTER eligibility criteria (ie, not eligible for collection).

More information

drumMUSTER is the national program for the collection and recycling of eligible empty, clean, non-returnable metal and plastic AgVet chemical containers.

The program is funded through a fee applied to eligible farm chemical containers contributed by participating chemical manufacturers.

drumMUSTER products are recycled into useful everyday items such as street signs, irrigation piping, plant stakes and outdoor furniture.
