•Small quantities of pesticides, when handled as described above, do not present a hazard to trash collectors or to the environment. A properly operated sanitary landfill presents a large dilution factor and provides sufficient containment to negate any hazardous effects the product may present.
One should be aware of local ordinances and sanitary landfill rules before following these federal guidelines. It would be* wise to check with local authorities before taking any action.
It should also be stressed that these are federal EPA guidelines and not those of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. Although they seem reasonable for most situations, there can be exceptions which warrant further guidance. If in doubt contact the Rappahannock Extension Service, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (804/786-3798), the Virginia Department of Health - Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management (804/786-1754), or the EPA (at the number above).
