2013 Safe Send Recycling Dates
Project Safe Send Scheduled for July
Jeremiah Lien, North Dakota Department of Agriculture
The North Dakota Department of Agriculture is planning 12 Project Safe Send sites, and is encouraging anyone with banned or unusable pesticides to schedule a trip to Project Safe Send this July.
This program is for everyone – farmers, ranchers, pesticide dealers and applicators, government agencies, and homeowners. It’s a safe, simple, and non-regulatory program to help you safely and legally get rid of unusable pesticides free of charge.
The program accepts any pesticides (i.e., herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides, and fungicides) that are old, unusable, or banned. Participants can bring their unusable pesticides to a scheduled collection site. A contractor unloads the wastes for participants and collects any paperwork. The whole process usually takes just a few minutes. After the collections, pesticides are carefully packed and shipped out of state for incineration.
People with more than 1,000 pounds of pesticides should preregister by contacting the North Dakota Department of Agriculture. No other preregistration is required. A maximum of 20,000 pounds of pesticide per participant will be accepted. Pesticide rinse water also will be accepted at any of the 12 collection sites. The first 100 pounds of rinse water will be taken free of charge; a fee of $1.00 per pound will be applied for each additional pound of rinse water.
Please check your storage areas for any unusable pesticides and set them aside for Project Safe Send. In the meantime, keep pesticides locked up safely. If you have deteriorating or leaking containers, overpack them in larger containers and add absorbent materials. Free heavy-duty plastic bags are available from the North Dakota Department of Agriculture.
If you would like to preregister more than 1,000 pounds of pesticides, receive heavy duty plastic bags, or if you have questions about Project Safe Send, please call Jeremiah Lien at the North Dakota Department of Agriculture at
701-328-1504 or jjlien@nd.gov .
Call the Department of Agriculture or go to its website: http://www.nd.gov/ndda/program/project-safe-send for the schedule and directions to the sites.
