LETHBRIDGE, AB. — Between Oct 25 and 29, Cleanfarms will hold one-day collection events in 20 locations across Southern Alberta. The 9-am to 4-pm events will accept unwanted and old agricultural pesticides and obsolete livestock, equine and farm animal medications.
The event is an effort to keep the unwanted materials out of the environment and managed for safe disposal.
The ‘Unwanted Pesticides and Old Livestock/Equine Medications’ collection program is funded by Cleanfarms, through its crop input members and a partnership with the Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI). The program, which rotates through various regions across Canada every three years, is offered at no charge to farmers.
Cleanfarms is a national not-for-profit organization that delivers industry-funded, end-of-life stewardship programs to the agricultural sector across Canada. It works collaboratively with more than 70 members in the pesticide, fertilizer, seed, ag plastic, and animal health medication sectors, as well as partner agencies, and governments to ensure that Canadian farmers can actively contribute to a healthy environment and a sustainable future.
