Agrecovery Rural Recycling is holding a free container collection in Galatea on Wednesday, February 25.
Containers from 62 participating brand owners, including GEA FIL, can be brought in for free recycling at New Zealand Farm Source on Horomanga Rd from 10am to 2pm.
Agrecovery's Duncan Scotland said the area was heavily dairy focused and with GEA FIL recently joining the programme, "there couldn't be a better time for us to hold an event".
"We have over 70 collection sites across New Zealand, including Rotorua and Taupo. However, we can bring the collection network even closer to smaller rural communities like Galatea.
"And with increasing pressure on growers and farmers to make good environmental decisions we want this free recycling programme to be as accessible as possible," he said. A similar event at Te Puna in November saw 1400 containers brought in for recycling.
