Under the new procedure, individuals may apply at any time to participate in a collection event by visiting the program's Web site to obtain a disposal inventory form and then apply for pesticide disposal by submitting the completed inventory form. Collection events will be scheduled as needed, determined in part by the amount of applications for a particular area. Once an event is scheduled, WSDA will notify potential customers who sub- mitted inventories and provide them with collection details.

Fertilizers, micronutrients, motor oil, and other hazardous waste are not accepted at WSDA collections. To sign up, visit: http://agr.wa.gov/pest fert/pesticides/wastepesticide.aspx.
