7.1. Triple rinse of empty agrochemicals
containers
NOTE: Even the containers considered empty contain chemical
residues. Therefore, discarding the containers without washing
out the residues is extremely dangerous to man, animals and en-
vironment. In the case of metal, plastic and glass chemical con-
tainers, each container must be rinsed three times to ensure the
residues are completely removed. This manual describes how to
make the triple rinse in a correct, safe and effective way.
1. Immediately after emptying the container, you must keep
it with the opening upside down over the sprayer tank
opening or over the bucket that you are using to prepare
the chemical mixture for at least 30 seconds, until no res-
idue is left in the container, when the drops are falling in
long intervals.
2. Hold the container in the upright position and fill it with
water up to 1/4. For example: in a 1000 ml container, put
250 ml of water.
3. Install the container cap and tighten enough to avoid
leakage during the agitation.
4. Agitate the container strongly in all ways (horizontal and
vertical), for approximately 30 seconds to remove the resi-
dues that are on the container internal walls.
5. Take the container cap off and carefully pour the rinse wa-
ter into the spray tank.
6. Keep holding the container over the spray tank opening
for approximately 30 seconds to the last drop.
7. Repeat this operation twice more. This way, you complete
the triple rinse.
8. Make the plastic and metallic containers useless by pierc-
ing the container bottom with a pointed instrument. This
way, their labels are not damaged for identification pur-
poses.
