Disposing of Pesticides and Pesticide Containers

At times, there may be leftover pesticides that can no longer be used. These should be stored properly in a locked storage area until they can be properly disposed of.

Although pesticide labeling contains general directions for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers, disposal requirements vary from state to state and within states. Your employer should confirm the proper disposal procedures with the local pesticide enforcement authority, and then inform you about what to do.
