QUEENSLAND farmers are being encouraged to register unwanted, old, or unknown agricultural chemicals ahead of ChemClear’s upcoming collection program.
Storing outdated or unregistered chemicals in sheds and storage areas can pose serious safety risks on the farm and to the wider environment.
ChemClear provides a safe, legal, and environmentally responsible way to dispose of these materials, helping landholders reduce hazards and protect their communities.
The program is run by Agsafe, the stewardship arm of CropLife Australia, and funded by the agricultural chemical industry. While it operates in partnership with state and territory governments, ChemClear is a privately managed, not-for-profit initiative.
“Removing hazardous chemicals from properties is not just about compliance — it’s about safeguarding our farms, our people, and our environment for the future,” a ChemClear spokesperson said.
The next Queensland collection will take place later this year, with registrations closing on September 12, 2025. Visit www.agsafe.org.au.
