Safe Disposal of Pesticides. An empty pesticide container can be as hazardous as a full one because of residues left inside. Never reuse such a con tainer. When empty, a pesticide container should be rinsed carefully three times and rinse the water thoroughly drained back onto the sprayer or the container previously used to mix the pesticide. Use the rinse water as a pesticide, fol lowing label directions. Replace the cap or closure securely. Dispose of the container according to label instructions. Do not puncture or burn a pressurized con tainer like an aerosol—it could explode. Do cut or puncture other empty pesticide containers made of metal or plastic to prevent someone from reusing them. Wrap the empty container and put it in the trash after you have rinsed it. Do not discharge into drains or sewers. Dispose of waste material as hazardous waste using a licensed disposal con tractor to an approved landfill. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recom mendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide con tainers. Containers must be disposed of properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by con tacting your regional EPA office.
