Disposal Of Pesticides

The inappropriate disposal of pesticides has the greatest potential for environmental contamination. However, it is possible to avoid such problems by considering the following elements for appropriate disposal:

Use of returnable and mini-bulk containers reduces the risk of pollution; Dry storage conditions prevent pesticide deterioration, which can cause a reduction in pesticide effectiveness;
High pressure or triple-rinsing of pesticide containers during the filling of the spray tank facilitates the recycling or proper disposal of pesticide containers;
Local collection depots for agri-chemical products by pesticide companies is an opportunity for proper container disposal; Pesticide containers should not be buried or burned.
