Free Pesticide Collection Day - December 13, 2022
Do you have pesticides at your home or farm that you no longer need or use??
The N.C. Cooperative Extension, Hyde and Tyrrell County Centers, in cooperation with the NCDA&CS Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program, a NON-Regulatory and Cost-Free program, will be offering a Pesticide Collection Day for residents in Hyde, Tyrrell, and surrounding counties on December 13, 2022.
Hyde County Agricultural Extension Agent, Andrea Gibbs will be the local contact for the event. The Collection will be from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Little Gator Aviation. (8369 Hwy 94, Fairfield, NC)
Nearly all pesticide products will be accepted at this amnesty collection event, including banned and outdated pesticides.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 Center.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get rid of those unwanted pesticides! For more information, contact Andrea Gibbs, Hyde County Agricultural Extension Agent at 252-926-4488.
