Barossa Valley wine makers no longer need to wait to recycle their empty and clean agvet chemical containers, after some recent changes to the local drumMUSTER.

For the past 13 years, the Barossa Council has held two drumMUSTER collection days a year to service more than 750 grape growers who supply 200 wineries.

But thanks to new flexible arrangements to the drumMUSTER site at Nuri Dump, growers can now drop off their drums five and half days a week instead of twice a year.

South Australia drumMUSTER Consultant David Jesse said the new collection site will be a great asset to local growers.

“Since drumMUSTER has been serving the region, more than 84,000 drums have been collected,” David said. “That represents more than 105 tonnes of material recycled into new things again.”

Drums can now be delivered to the Transpacific Transfer Station on Pine Drive in Nuriootpa, 8am -3pm Monday to Friday and 8am-11.30am on Saturday.
