Dispose of leftover pesticides safely.
Unused pesticides should not be thrown out with regular garbage. Take them to your local Community Environment Day (runs April 4th to July 4th) or one of the City's Household Hazardous Waste Depots. Make sure to note the hours and days that the depots accept "household hazardous waste," which includes pesticides.
