The Missouri Pesticide Collection Program will be in Chillicothe Saturday morning. The hours are from 8:00 am to Noon at the Litton Agri-Science Learning Center. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources says the program is designed to help protect human health and the environment by collecting and ensuring safe disposal of waste pesticides from Missouri farmers and households, and to do this while educating Missouri citizens about how to properly manage and reduce pesticide waste.
All pesticides collected during the event are transported off-site by a licensed hazardous waste contractor to a permitted hazardous waste incineration facility for disposal.
The program will accept all pesticides from Missouri farmers and households, including, but not limited to: Fungicides, Herbicides, Insecticides, Rodenticides, Fertilizers containing pesticides, De-wormers, and fly-tags.
