This program was created as a stewardship program to provide a much-needed consumer service to the citizens of North Carolina. According to an EPA publication specifically on Pesticide Disposal/Clean Sweep Programs, 33 additional States began permanent Pesticide Collection programs with 13 others working towards establishing permanent programs in their states. The North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is proud to have been a national leader in establishing this highly regarded, ground-breaking, consumer services program for the entire Agricultural community, and continues to proudly serve all citizens of North Carolina.
