Dump pesticides safely May 15

Agricultural producers, dealers, professional applicators and homeowners who are storing unusable pesticides will have a safe, legal and free opportunity to dispose of them this month as the Idaho State Department of Agriculture conducts its annual spring unusable pesticide collections.

Collection will take place in Coeur d'Alene on May 15 at the Coeur d'Alene Transfer Facility, 3650 Ramsey Road.

Participation is free for the first 1,000 pounds of unusable pesticides per participant.

Pesticides include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides or anything with a "cide" at the end, and should be brought to the collection site between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the date and location listed above.

No fertilizer, micronutrients, paint, solvents or motor oil can be accepted.
