The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Food and Forestry has scheduled two Unwanted Pesticide Disposal days in October. The UPD program ensures unwanted pesticides are properly disposed of, reducing potential threats to public health and the environment.
Homeowners, farmers, ranchers, commercial applicators and dealers are able to utilize the program. There is no cost for disposal of the first 2,000 pounds of unwanted pesticides (liquid pesticide weighs approximately 10 pounds per gallon). The program does not offer pesticide transport services. Pesticide transportation tips can be found here.

Oct. 12, 2021
