COLUMBUS, Ind. — The 2022 Clean Sweep Pesticide Disposal Program sponsored by the Office of the Indiana State Chemist (OISC) is offering statewide pesticide collection sites across several counties in the state, including Bartholomew County.
The Bartholomew County Solid Waste District will be available for pesticide collection on August 17. It is a great way for farmers, schools, ag dealers, golf courses, cities, county governments, and others to dispose of suspended, canceled, banned, unusable, opened, unopened, or just unwanted pesticides. Disposal of up to 250 pounds per participant is free.
Visit the Office of the Indiana State Chemist (OISC) website to download the participant form at oisc.purdue.edu or contact Nathan Davis at cleansweep@groups.purdue.edu to have a form emailed. Participants must complete and submit the participant form by mail, e-mail, or fax by August 5.
