This special pesticide collection event is being provided through a partnership that includes the Clackamas County Soil and Water Conservation District, Clackamas River Water Providers, East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, NORPAC Foods, Oregon Department of Agriculture, Clackamas River Basin Council, OSU Extension Service, and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
This event is a great opportunity for farmers, nursery owners, and other producers to safely and anonymously to dispose of harmful pesticides at no charge and with no questions asked. Pesticide collection events held in Clackamas County over the past six years have proven increasingly successful. With every event the quantity of pesticides has increased. This shows that the need for this service is greater than anticipated.
The project partners continue to cobble together funds to support the proper disposal of old and unusable pesticides before they get into local waterways. This protects drinking water sources and healthy habitat for wildlife.
