All pesticides will be taken no matter the size.

There is no cost for the first 2,500 pounds of pesticides brought by a participant. Anything over 2,500 pounds will be charged to the participant at a $1/pound for all pesticides except mercury based pesticides, wherein participants will be charged $2.22/pound for disposal. Clean Harbors will accept payment in the form of check or credit card at the disposal site. No cash will be accepted!

Dealers are asked to pre-register due to the potential of large quantities coming from multiple dealers and/or multiple locations.
