Pest Sweep collects over 2,000 pounds

Colorado State University Extension conducted a pesticide recovery and disposal program in an effort to target unwanted and unlabeled pesticides. This program contracts with a hazardous waste company to transport and dispose of pesticides recovered.
Collected wastes totaled approximately 2,209 pounds. Pesticides included Furadan and Endrin, pesticides that have been off-label for quite some time.
