Disposal

Pesticides disposal methods should be followed to ensure compliance with international standards for disposal of hazardous materials. The implementation of disposal options reduces the hazards associated with obsolete pesticides stocks and with the use of obsolete contaminated equipment. However, in view of the high cost of safe and environmentally sound disposal, proper planning of pesticides needs is required to prevent the creation of obsolete pesticides.

The implementation of the disposal scheme element can be done in 3 steps:

  1. Develop rules for disposal of hazardous waste and guidance to assist companies with its disposal
  2. Set up adequate recording systems (inventory) and storage for obsolete/waste pesticides
  3. Set up adequate disposal facilities for obsolete/waste pesticides such as export routes or in limited cases, controlled landfill.
