Pesticides

Learn how to properly dispose of pesticides.

Did you know that pesticides that wash off our yards from rain or overwatering are toxic to the environment?

Testing has shown that even small amounts of commonly used pesticides may be lethal to living creatures. So try non-toxic alternatives for pest control. Take unwanted or unused pesticides to a household hazardous waste collection center. Never throw pesticides in the trash or into a storm drain. To find the nearest household hazardous waste collection facility in your area, in the green locator box above, just type pesticides in the left window and your zip code in the right window.
