Farmers in five provinces to safely dispose of unwanted pesticides

Again this fall, farmers in five provinces will be able to safely dispose of unwanted agricultural pesticides and obsolete livestock and equine medications (UPLM).

It’s one of Cleanfarms’ longest-standing programs, having helped farmers protect their land and communities by ensuring unused or expired pesticides and medication are managed safely for more than 15 years.

An important milestone this year, UPLM collection events in Newfoundland will also feature the first-ever collection of used pesticide and fertilizer containers (under 23L), providing a new convenience for Newfoundland farmers.

2025 UPLM collection events:

•  Ontario: September 15th – 26th

•  Peace Region (Alberta & British Columbia): October 14th – 16th

•  Northern Alberta: October 6th – 10th

•  Newfoundland: October 21st – 24th

•  Manitoba: October 27th – 31st

Accepted materials include:

•  Unwanted agricultural pesticides (with Pest Control Product number)

•  Commercial pest control products used on golf courses or industrial sites

•  Livestock/equine medications (with DIN, serial, notification, or Pest Control Product number).
