OABA MEMBERS RECYCLE MINI-BULKS

354 mini-bulk tanks find new life

Recycling is a good thing and OABA members know a good thing when they see one. Strong member participation resulted in 354 old, out-of-service and in-the-way, mini-bulk tanks being recycled. Tanks had to be cut-up and stacked then delivered to a collection point. From there they will be shipped to Tri-Rinse in St. Louis, Missouri to be further processed into plastic chips for the manufacture of railroad ties.

This effort would not be possible if it were not for the following companies subsidizing the cost for recycling their tanks :

• Agriliance
  
• Bayer (Adventis)
  
• Dow AgroSciences
  
• Monsanto
  
• Syngenta (Ciba, ICI, Zeneca)

A special thanks also goes to Danny Clouse, Agriliance, Bellevue and Rod Bauer, Kova of Ohio, Springfield for serving as collection sites. Their commitment to this effort was the reason for its success.
