CHEMSWEEP Pesticide Disposal Program
**IMPORTANT Notice about the 2009 CHEMSWEEP Program**
All activities in the CHEMSWEEP Program are suspended until further notice. There will be no CHEMSWEEP collection/disposal activities in 2009. All counties previously scheduled for collections in 2009 will be rescheduled as soon as the program recommences. This halt to CHEMSWEEP activities extends to on-site collections, drop-offs at Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) Regional offices, and inventory verifications by PDA representatives.
If you have waste pesticides in need of disposal, please assure that they are stored properly and that any leaking containers are placed into secondary containment (plastic bucket or plastic bag). When the CHEMSWEEP Program resumes, inventory packages will be sent to pesticide dealers, pesticide application businesses, and private applicators that are in the next rotation of selected counties.
If you have any questions about the CHEMSWEEP program, call the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) at 717-772-5210, or your nearest PDA Regional Office.
