Producers in the northern half of Alberta can drop off old livestock/equine medications as well as unwanted agricultural pesticides next month.

Cleanfarms partners with the Canadian Animal Health Institute for livestock/equine medications, which need to have a DIN number, serial number, notification number or Pest Control Product number on the label.

One-day collections will take place at Alliance, Boyle, Camrose, County of Barrhead, Edgerton, Falher, Grimshaw, Hairy Hill, Innisfail, Irma, Lacombe, Leduc, Legal, Penhold, Provost, Rosalind, Rycroft, Sexsmith, St. Albert, St. Paul, Vegreville, Vermilion, Viking and Wainwright.
