Recently the Environmental Protection Agency announced new label guidelines on house and garden pesticides, which provide consumers with proper disposal instructions on these products.  Do not throw household and garden pesticides into the trash.  Many pesticides are hazardous, and throwing them into the trash puts children, pets and sanitation workers at risk.  Neither should pesticides be dumped down drains, which could cause ground and surface water contamination.  Consumers are directed to contact their local solid waste, health or environmental agency for information on proper disposal of these products.
