COLLECTION DAY FOR UNWANTED PESTICIDES, 5/30, HENDERSON
Do you have old weed killers, insecticides, or other pesticide products that you no longer need? Any products more than three years old may have reduced effectiveness. Get those potentially hazardous products off your hands! We will take them free of charge, no hassle. Just bring them to the City Operations Center on Beckford Dr. in Henderson, 10 am to 2 pm on May 30th. You may even want to clean out Grandpa’s old barn! Please call in advance if you have large quantities, or if you would like tips on safe handling and transport. Please note that we will only take pesticides (i.e. herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc.). Paint, solvents, cleaners, and other hazardous waste will not be accepted.
Note that a pesticide disposal day will also be held this fall in Warren County, details TBA.
