Agricultural Pesticide Waste Collection

Why Collect Pesticide Waste?

The intelligent use of pesticides has helped make the United States the world's number one producer of food and fiber. Ideally pesticides are stored safely on the farm until they are completely used. However, many remain unused because cropping practices change, new products are introduced, some chemicals are phased out, and others deteriorate or lose their label. Such chemicals pose a threat to human health, livestock, and the environment-- especially our rivers, lakes and groundwater.

Current Pesticide Waste Collection Program

The TDA Pesticide Collection Program has been temporarily suspended while we work out a partnership to more efficiently run the program. We will update this website when the program is back online.
