NMDA pesticide disposal

This is a notification of this year’s NMDA pesticide disposal event.  We will be holding collections at three locations this year:

-October 16: Curry County Fairgrounds (600 S. Norris), Clovis NM

-October 17: Roswell Airport (95 Southwest Way), Roswell NM

-October 18: McGee Park (41 Rd 5568), Farmington NM

We will also have agricultural plastic recycling services available this year provided by USAg Recycling (eligibility details here: http://www.usagrecycling.com/preparation.html). Please bring in your clean and rinsed plastic jugs and drums for FREE recycling services! Examples of proper rinsing are attached.

I have attached an informational flyer that can be shared or posted as needed. 

NMDA commends all individuals who come together to make this program a success. The proper disposal of pesticides eliminates a potential threat to human health and the environment. Over the last decade, we have collected over 400,000 pounds of unwanted pesticide products. We hope you continue to utilize the pesticide disposal program by participating this year.

Contact me if you have any additional questions. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming disposal and recycling event!
