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 collections.  The collections will be held in Nampa, Weiser, Lewiston and Coeur d'Alene.

 

Participation is free for the first 1,000 pounds of unusable pesticides per participant. Pesticides include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides or anything with a "cide" at the end and should be brought to the closest collection site between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time on the date and location listed below. No fertilizer, micronutrients, paint, solvents, or motor oil can be accepted.
