Indiana Pesticide Clean Sweep Project

An Indiana Pesticide Clean Sweep Project designed to collect and dispose of suspended, canceled, banned, unusable, opened, unopened or just unwanted pesticides (weed killers, insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, miticides, etc.) is being sponsored by the Office of Indiana State Chemist (OISC).  This disposal service is free of charge up to 250 pounds per participant.  Over 250 pounds there will be a $2.00 per pound charge.  This is a great opportunity for you to legally dispose of unwanted products at little or no cost.
