Do you have pesticides at your home or farm that you no longer need or use?
If your answer is 'yes', then you'll be interested in the Pamlico County Pesticide Collection Day on Wednesday March 26, 2014.

The Pamlico County Cooperative Extension Office, in cooperation with the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program, a NON-Regulatory and Cost-Free program, will be offering this Pesticide Collection Day for residents in Pamlico County and all of the surrounding North Carolina counties.

County Agricultural Extension Agent Daniel Simpson will be the local contact for the event. The Collection will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Pamlico County Heritage Center in Grantsboro (located near the intersection of Hwy 55 and 306).

Address: 10642 NC Hwy 55
Grantsboro, N.C. 28529

Nearly all pesticide products will be accepted at this amnesty collection event, including banned and out-dated pesticides. For pesticides with unreadable or missing labels, please contact the Cooperative Extension Office for instructions. Please save any portion of the label to help identify the material so you can be assisted with disposal. Unknown materials cannot be accepted.

For pressurized pesticide gas cylinders or containers greater than 5 gal in size, please contact the Extension Office BEFORE the Collection Day for special instructions and information. For tips on transporting the pesticides safely to the Collection event, contact the Extension Office.

Each year the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program (www.ncagr.com/PDAP) visits between 40-50 counties to collect unwanted and unused pesticides through this NON-regulatory amnesty Program. This means that a Collection Day of this kind only happens about once every other year in each county!

Don't miss this pesticide collection opportunity in Pamlico County co-sponsored by NCDA&CS and the NCCES. For more information contact Daniel Simpson at (252) 745-4121.
