Dispose of unwanted pesticides and livestock meds this fall

Farmers in the Peace Region and central Alberta can safely dispose of unwanted agricultural pesticides and equine/livestock medications at one of the designated collection sites this fall.

Obsolete or unwanted agricultural pesticides (identified with a Pest Control Product number on the label) will be accepted. Livestock medications that are used by primary producers in the rearing of animals in an agricultural context (identified with a DIN number, Ser. Number or Pest Control Product number on the label) can also be disposed of.

If you are unsure whether your product fits the scope of this collection call 1-877-622-4460 (ext. 2223) or visit the CleanFarms website.
