If you have old pesticides that are taking up space in your barn, garage or storage shed, make plans to bring them to the FREE Pesticide Disposal Day in Yadkin County. N.C. Cooperative Extension in conjunction with the NC Department of Agriculture will accept any pesticide (insecticide, fungicide, herbicide, etc.) in original containers and clearly labeled. This program is available for Yadkin and surrounding counties.

Most pesticide products will be accepted, including banned and outdated pesticides. For pesticides with unreadable or missing labels, contact the Cooperative Extension office at (336) 849-7908 for instructions. Participants are asked to save any portion of the label to help identify the material to be disposed of. Unknown materials cannot be accepted. Paints and other hazardous waste will not be accepted. For gas cylinders or containers greater than five gallons in size and for tips on transporting pesticides safely to the collection event, contact the extension office before the collection day for special instructions and
information.

This non-regulatory and cost-free collection will be Thursday, May 15th, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., at the Yadkin County Landfill (1149 Landfill Rd., Yadkinville). Call the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Yadkin County Center Office, 336-849-7908 for more information or directions. This is a great opportunity to dispose of any unwanted pesticides properly.
