drumMUSTER is the national program for collection and recycling of empty, cleaned farm chemical containers.
Chemical users pay 4 cents per litre or kilogram levy on eligible products sold in non-returnable containers. Containers are identified by a logo (sticker, label or embossed) which shows they are eligible for recycling through drumMUSTER.
All of Gannawarra Shire Council's Transfer stations are drumMUSTER locations. The Transfer Stations will accept drums during normal operating hours, but will require you to book in advance.
For more information visit the Drummuster website.
bagMUSTER supports the collecting and recycling agricultural plastic bags, specifically single-use polypropylene (PP) bags used for fertilisers, seeds, grain, stock feed, and pet food.
The Cohuna and Kerang transfer stations are registered collection sites.

e-waste products - which is any product that has a plug, battery or cord - are banned from being placed in rubbish bins and landfills throughout Victoria and must be taken to your local transfer station for recycling. For the Gannawarra Shire, these locations are the Cohuna, Kerang, Quambatook and Lalbert transfer stations.
e-waste contains valuable resources that can be recycled, such as tin, nickel, zinc, aluminium, copper, silver, gold and plastic, as well as hazardous materials that can cause environmental contamination, such as heavy metals like lead, mercury and cadmium to ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCS) and flame retardants.
Thanks to Council's partnership with Solar Recovery Corporation, residents can take exhausted, damaged or soiled solar panels to any of our transfer stations for recycling free of charge.
As part of this program, Solar Recovery Corporation will collect these solar panels, separate all materials and pack them for reuse.
Council does not accept asbestos at any of its transfer stations.
For information regarding the risks associated with asbestos and how to safely manage or remove it, please visit the Victorian Government's asbestos website.
