Waste Pesticide Collection Program

Any pesticide formulation can be considered waste (unusable) if:

• The label uses have been canceled (i.e. DDT and toxaphene)
• The product is no longer in usable condition (i.e. dry products that have caked or liquids that have settled and can't be remixed)
• The product is unidentifiable or the label is missing, making proper use impossible

• Examples of Cancelled Pesticides in the United States (pdf)
