Participants are able to eliminate the hazard of continuing to store aging products. There is no charge to the person taking their waste pesticide to a collection event. The program is paid for by an appropriation of about 1.3 percent of a state harzardous waste cleanup fund. Regional events are held around the state as funding allows. Since arranging disposal is complex, participants must register prior to an event to allow WSDA and the waste contractor to determine the types and amounts of pesticides needing disposal.
Participants can now sign up by e-mail as well as by phone.
