Pre-registration deadline for Obsolete Pesticide Collection Program.

Today is the deadline to pre-register for the Obsolete Pesticide Collection Program. The program is open to homeowners and family-owned farms, who are encouraged to bring unwanted pesticides — including herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, and similar products -- to a collection site in Augusta. Pre-registration is required by Oct. 8 to participate; drop-ins are not permitted. Drop-off locations will be announced soon.

Details, including registering and supplying the obsolete pesticides inventory form, a list of banned and unusable products, storage and transportation guidelines, and other disposal options, are found at thinkfirstspraylast.org.
