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 Henderson County Pesticide Collection Day on Thursday, August 5, 2021.
The Henderson County Extension Office, in cooperation with the N.C. 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 Henderson County and all of the surrounding North Carolina counties. Please note this is for pesticides only and we will not be collecting used or unused paint cans.
The collection site will be at the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Henderson County Center, 100 Jackson Park Rd, Hendersonville, NC 28792. Personnel will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the collection and disposal of pesticides. All pesticide containers will be taken at no cost; however, the contents of the containers must be known and labeled in order to be eligible for collection.
For pressurized pesticide gas cylinders or containers greater than 5 gallons in size, please contact the Henderson County office BEFORE the Collection Day for special instructions and information. All questions concerning this upcoming pesticide collection day in Henderson County please call 828-697-4891.
