  3. Rinsing and Recycling Caged Tanks The McPheeters Operation Pictured here is me, with my sons Clark and Kerry and my father Burt Clark and Kerry are the 5th generation on the McPheeters Farm in Nebraska We design and build some of our own equipment, and do our own maintenance and repair in the McPheeters Farm shop

  4. Rinsing and Recycling Caged Tanks Our History of Rinsing and Recycling We have been rinsing and recycling Mini Bulk containers for more than 10 years - caged tanks for 8 years. Caged tank products are typically glyphosate, spray adjuvants and other crop chemicals.We use about 10 caged tanks per year. The cleaning routine is easy, taking less time than growers may think.

  5. Rinsing and Recycling Caged Tanks McPheeters Farm Rinsing and Recycling Routine It takes approximately 1 hour to set up the cleaning area in the field and clean 3 tanks. Approx. 15 minutes to clean each tank after that. Total time for 6 tanks is about 1½ - 2 hours. For 10 tanks, less than 3 hours. We recommend using the rinsate in your application tank. It’s easy and practical.

  6. Rinsing and Recycling Caged Tanks Storing Cleaned Caged TanksWe store cleaned caged tanks in a dry and secure storage area until they can be returned locally. Or, until tanks are backhauled during the delivery of new products for the new season.

  7. Rinsing and Recycling Caged Tanks Why Rinse and Recycle Caged Tanks It’s the right thing to do to maintain the integrity of our operation and to practice proper stewardship. I encourage all growers to rinse and recycle your caged tanks, and to reach out to your dealers or recycling contractors.
