HONOLULU – The Pesticides Branch of the Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture (HDOA) is conducting a pesticide disposal program for farms and other commercial users of pesticides to safely dispose of canceled, suspended, unwanted or unlabeled pesticides. This Pesticides Disposal Program (PDP) is only for commercial operations such as farms, licensed pest control operators, certified applicators and also state and county agencies. There are some restrictions (see list of acceptable and unacceptable pesticides). Household pesticides will not be accepted under this program.
The PDP is a statewide project with the initial pesticide collection event to be on O‘ahu on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023 from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. The registration deadline is Friday, Sept. 8, 2023 by 4:30 pm. The exact drop-off location in Honolulu will be provided only to registered participants. The registration form and PDP information are available on the HDOA website at: https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/pi/main/pesticide-disposal-program/.
Questions regarding the program and registration assistance should be directed to: EnviroServices & Training Center, (808) 456-3494 or email: [email protected]. Neighbor island collection dates will be announced at a later time.
The PDP is available to agricultural operations, including farms, ranches, nurseries and greenhouse growers. In addition, pesticide dealers, licensed pest control operators, golf course operators, landscape professionals, state and city agencies, and other commercial end users of pesticides are also eligible. Residential pesticides users are not eligible for this program and residents should contact their respective counties for information regarding household hazardous waste disposal programs.
“Pesticide disposal has been a serious problem for many farmers, ranchers and many companies that use pesticides in Hawai‘i,” said Sharon Hurd, chairperson of the Hawai‘i Board of Agriculture. “This program is a great opportunity for commercial operations to properly and safety dispose of old and unwanted pesticides which may be a risk to human health and the environment.”
