| Pesticide Disposal | |||||
As part of the Voluntary Initiative, the farming and crop protection industries and seven waste disposal contractors organised the Obsolete Pesticide Disposal Campaign. Open to farmers and other professional pesticide users, the campaign was an excellent opportunity to clear out chemical stores and dispose of obsolete pesticides. Working together for a short campaign (from 14 November 2003- 31st March 2004)allowed the waste disposal companies to organise efficient collection rounds and thus ensure that discounts over normal disposal rates are possible. The contractors who participated in the campaign are continuing to offer a disposal service although normal disposal rates will apply It is illegal to store or use any unapproved pesticides, so it is important to ensure all the pesticides in your store are approved. Many products are losing their approval as part of the EU Review programme. So check the approval status of your products every year. Your advisor can help identify those products, which require disposal. The PSD website has the latest and authoritative list of approved products as well as a list of products under phased revocation. Alternatively you can download the listing below.
