Pesticide Disposal Day! (March 25)
The Johnston County Pesticide Disposal Day will be held on March 25, 2010 at the Johnston County Livestock Arena. The doors will open at 10:00 AM and remain open until 2:00 PM. The Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program (PDAP) is a consumer services program in the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The goal of the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program is to assist these citizens of North Carolina by managing and supervising the safe collection and lawful disposal of banned, out-dated, or unwanted pesticides. Since its inception, the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program has properly collected and disposed of over 1 million pounds of pesticides from North Carolina. The Program’s goal for the future is to assist and promote the establishment permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection sites in those counties without permanent facilities. In addition, the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program also intends to conduct approximately 40 Collection Day events per year throughout the state in an attempt to have a Pesticide Collection Day in each county in the state at least once every other year.
