During the week of Oct. 25-29, producers can dispose of obsolete livestock, equine and poultry medications safely and securely at 20 locations in the southern half of Alberta.

However, the drop-off at each location is for one day only (from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) so producers should check the map at the ‘Unwanted agricultural pesticides & old livestock/equine medications’ page at cleanfarms.ca.

The same sites are also accepting unwanted agricultural pesticides. All items need to be placed in a sealable or spill-proof container.
