- Chemical and pesticide quantities accepted will be limited to 2500 pounds of solid and 300 gallons of liquid at no charge.
- If you are planning to attend and have more than 30 gallons of liquid or 250 pounds of solid to dispose of, please notify John Stokes at 803-737-9696 or jstokes@scda.sc.gov.
- Pesticide products accepted include herbicides, insecticides, nematicides, fungicides and similar products used in agricultural production or around the home.

- No compressed gas cylinders (metal cylinder with a valve) or empty pesticide containers will be collected.
