PLEASE NOTE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE

Farmers and Homeowners Can Dispose of Waste Pesticides Sept. 16

COLUMBIA – The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) is offering the opportunity to safely dispose of outdated, unusable, or unwanted pesticides at an upcoming event:

September 16, 2025
9 a.m.-2 p.m.
Carolina Fresh Farms

Aiken, SC 29803

The pesticide and chemical program is only open to farmers and homeowners. SCDA staff will be on site to monitor pesticide collection and disposal and will have final authority on acceptance of products. No products will be accepted from businesses, dealers, commercial applicators, non- commercial applicators, manufacturers, or distributors.

• Chemical and pesticide quantities accepted will be limited to 2500 pounds of solid and 300 gallons of liquid at no charge.
• Pesticide products accepted include herbicides, insecticides, nematicides, fungicides, and similar products used in agricultural production or around the home.

• Fertilizer will not be accepted unless it is combined or co-packed with a pesticide such as w**d and feed.
• No compressed gas cylinders (metal cylinder with a valve) or empty pesticide containers will be collected.

Collection events may be cancelled due to inclement weather, with the cancellation posted on SCDA’s website, agriculture.sc.gov. Possible makeup dates will be announced at a later date.
