Thanks to grant funding through the Vermont Department of Agriculture, the District is able to take pesticides from Vermont residents, farmers, and businesses free of charge. This is part of a program to remove old pesticides and herbicides from barns, basements, store rooms, and garages around the state. Please take your pesticides and herbicides to one of our hazardous waste collection events. If you are a farm or business, please pre-register by contacting us .
