The Spring 2009 Program Was a Record Breaking Event!
Thanks to the efforts of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Bureau of Pesticides Management staff and the collaboration of New York State's Department of Transportation by providing their garage facilities in Hudson, NY, Schenectady, NY and Oneonta, NY, over 104,920 pounds of unwanted, obsolete or unusable pesticides and other chemicals were safely and economically collected for disposal. Also collected for recycling were 850 plastic pesticide containers. This brings the total pounds of waste collected to over 850,000 pounds.
