This important service is specifically for individuals, farmers and small businesses—no dealers, large businesses or retailers are eligible. The collection day is sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services and N.C. Cooperative Extension.

The collection will only accept pesticides — including insecticides, fungicides and herbicides — provided they are in their original containers and clearly labeled. It is crucial that participants do not mix or co-mingle materials; please keep solids, liquids and fertilizers separated to avoid hazardous compatibility issues that could cause loads to be rejected. “Unknowns" will not be accepted, though staff will make every effort to identify materials. Pesticides from any North Carolina county are welcome at this event.

For safety and planning, participants with quantities larger than five gallons are encouraged to pre-register by calling the Haywood County Extension Office. Any amounts between 30-55 gallons will require approval prior to the disposal event. Please note that the event cannot accept liquids in bulk containers (drums, totes, tanks or greater than 55 gallons) or pressurized pesticide cylinders. Please also note that no household hazardous waste such as paints, oil or gas will be accepted at this event.

For any questions or to pre-register large quantities, please contact the Haywood County Center at 828.456.3575.
