Doing autumn clean up in your home and garden? Use our guide to determine how to dispose of pesticide containers:
| If your pesticide container | Dispose of the container this way |
|---|---|
is completely empty of pesticide product | regular household trash |
has pesticide product remaining | household hazardous waste |
How do I dispose of pesticide containers as household hazardous waste?
Bring containers with remaining pesticide from your home to our Hazardous Waste Drop-off at the Shady Grove Transfer Station and Processing Facility. This drop-off is open daily. See details about our Hazardous Waste Drop-off program.
Can I recycle my pesticide container?
No, do not recycle your pesticide containers.
Pesticide residue acts as a containment in empty containers, making them unacceptable for recycling. And, when residents send containers with remaining products to the Recycling Center, the products can create dangerous situations.
