Pesticide Disposal
Collections scheduled for southwestern and northern Idaho are safe, legal and free. Agricultural producers, dealers, professional applicators and homeowners who are storing unusable pesticides will have a safe, legal and free opportunity to dispose of them when the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) conducts its annual spring unusable pesticide disposal collections. The collections will be held in Nampa, Weiser and Lewiston.
Participation is free. Pesticides include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides or generally products with "cide" at the end of the name.

"Since the program started in 1993, ISDA has safely collected and disposed of over 2 million pounds of unusable pesticides," said Victor Mason II, ISDA Agricultural Resources Administrator. "Pesticides become unusable for many reasons, including loss of potency, exposure to temperature extremes, cancellation or suspension by state or federal authorities, or grower's decisions to change cropping rotations or practices."
