Colorado State University Extension recently conducted a pesticide recovery and disposal program in an effort to target unwanted and unlabeled pesticides. This program contracts with a hazardous waste company to transport and dispose of pesticides recovered. Collected wastes totaled approximately 2209 pounds. Pesticides included Furadan and Endrin, pesticides that have been off label for quite some time. This project has completed its third year and has collected a total of approximately 7000 pounds of unwanted pesticides.
