The Office of the Indiana State Chemist (OISC) is once again sponsoring a program that will allow Indiana businesses (farmers, agricultural dealers, cities and towns, nurseries, schools, etc) the opportunity to legally dispose of unwanted pesticides.
The project is designed to collect suspended, canceled, banned, unusable, opened, unopened or just unwanted pesticides. These pesticides may include: weed killers, insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, and miticides, among others.
This disposal service is free of charge up to 250 pounds per participant. For amounts of over 250 pounds, there will be a charge of $2 per pound, making this a great way for you to legally dispose of unwanted products at little to no cost.
