Calling all farmers & homeowners needing to dispose of pesticide (no dealers, businesses, or retailers)! The Buncombe County Landfill has cancelled all TV Waste/Hazardous pickup days traditionally used to drop off pesticide containers at the landfill for the remainder of the year. In response, please see details of how you can dispose of your unwanted pesticide containers at the single day pickup event designed to help you as you clean up from recent flood events.

What: Free Pesticide Disposal Collection Day

When: Thursday, October 24 at 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Where: Mountain Horticultural Crops Research & Extension Center, 74 Research Drive, Mills River, NC 28759 (lower entrance near greenhouses and other buildings)

What Items Will Be Taken:

Only Accepting Pesticides at this Event
No ‘Unknowns’ Will Be Accepted: We will do all we can to ID the material.
Do Not Mix or Co-mingle Materials: Do NOT pile materials together! Potentially hazardous compatibility issues could cause loads to be rejected and an additional cost to be incurred – keep solids, liquids, and fertilizers separated.
No Storm Debris: Our Contractor CANNOT accept pesticide-contaminated storm debris. Contact your local Solid Waste Department.
Liquids in Bulk Containers: We cannot accept liquids in bulk containers (drums, totes, tanks) at this event. Please contact us to discuss potential other arrangements.
No Pressurized Pesticide Cylinders: We do not accept pressurized cylinders thru the Pesticide Disposal but we may be able to assist in other ways. Contact us to discuss options. Pesticide aerosols are fine.
Pesticides from outside the County: YES, pesticides can be brought to the Collection Day from ANY North Carolina county.
