Each summer,
the Department of Agriculture offers a used pesticide
collection in communities across the state. "This is a good
time for anyone with pesticides farmers, ranchers,
chemical dealers and applicators, government agencies
and homeowners to take stock of their inventory and
set aside unusable pesticides for disposal, said
Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson. With 16
collection sites, no one will have to drive far to get
rid of their waste pesticides, safely, efficiently and
at no charge. Call (701) 328-4997 for more information
on this program.
