The Department offers a free program to chip clean, empty plastic containers (pesticide or fertilizer). The containers must be triple rinsed. The CROP truck can come to your site or a central location and chip HDPE #2 plastic. The chipper equipment can handle containers up to and including 5 gallons whole.  Thirty-gallon and 55 gallon containers must be cut up by the participant prior to chipping. If the 5 gallon containers are thick-walled they must also be cut up by the participant prior to chipping.
