<font color=green>P.M. UPDATE: </font>Unwanted pesticides can be dropped off
Oklahoma homeowners, agricultural producers, greenhouse and nursery operators, certified applicators and pesticide dealers can get rid of unwanted pesticides from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 12 at Crop Production Services in Webbers Falls.
The collections will take only pesticides; no other types of hazardous waste such as oil, paint or antifreeze will be accepted. All pesticides will be taken, no matter the size.
There is no cost for the first 2,500 pounds of pesticides brought in by a participant. Anything more than 2,500 pounds will be charged to the participant at the rate of $1 per pound for all pesticides except those that are mercury based. The rate for mercury based pesticides is $2.22 per pound for disposal. No cash payments.
Pesticide dealers are asked to pre-register with Clean Harbors through the OSU Pesticide Safety Education Program at http://pested.okstate.edu/unwanted.htm.
