Since then. thousands of people have brought in over half a million pounds of <br />pesticides. That's a lot. But with the support of pesticide manufacturers, we have the fund <br />help get rid of more. We can accept any pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides <br />fungicides) that are old, unusable or banned--like DOT, arsenic, dieldrin, chlordane or met <br />seed treatments. <br /> <br />A healthy environment is something we take for granted. But <br />keeping our air and water clean and pure requires commitment <br />and can be costly. <br /> <br />For years, farmers and ranchers have done their part by safely <br />storing unusable pesticides like DDT and mercury seed <br />treatments. <br /> <br />Now there's a way to get rid of these old pesticides for good. /t's <br />called Project Safe Send. <br /> <br />IT'S... <br /> <br />. SAFE <br />. SIMPLE <br />. NON-REGULATORY <br />. FREE! <br /> <br />Collections are held at many locations across the state in the summer. These çpl!øction <br />sites rotate throughout the state to provide access to a greater number of farmers and <br />ranchers. After the collections, hazardous pesticides are carefully packed and shipped ou <br />state for incineration. <br /> <br />"As a farmer, I know how often we end up with left over or unusable <br />pesticides. Project Safe Send gives us all an opportunity to easityand <br />safely dispose of these products at no cost!" <br /> <br />-- Agriculture Commissic <br />Roger John <br /> <br />Please check your storage areas for any unusable pesticides. If you find some, call us toll <br />for information on the time and location of the next Project Safe Send collections. Pre- <br />registration is not required, but it helps us select and plan collections. It also allows us to <br />arrange a convenient drop-off time and location for you. <br /> <br />In the meantime, keep pesticides safely locked up. If you have deteriorating or leaki <br />containers, overpack them in larger containers and add absorbent materials. <br /> <br />http://www.agdepartment.comlProgramslPlant/PSS.html <br /> <br />4/23/2004 <br />
