Project Safe Send Collections Slated at 16 Sites
Project Safe Send, North Dakota’s annual collection of unusable pesticides, will be conducted at 16 locations in July. "This is a good time to look through barns, sheds, garages, and storage areas for unusable pesticides," said Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson. "With 16 collection sites across the state, it should be easy for everyone to participate in Project Safe Send, and get rid of their unusable pesticides safely and at no charge."
The collections are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (local time) at the following dates and sites. All collection sites are at North Dakota Department of Transportation (DOT) maintenance facilities. The more local sites are:
Tuesday, July 15, Bismarck
Wednesday, July 16, Bowman
Thursday July 17, Belfield
Friday, July 18, Watford CityFor more information and a full listing of sites and dates, see Project Safe Send
Authorized by the North Dakota Legislature, Project Safe Send is funded through the fees paid by pesticide manufacturers to register their products in North Dakota. Since 1992, more than 2 million pounds of waste pesticides have been collected through Project Safe.
