Storing, moving and disposing of pesticides on farms

We recently received a call from landscape company. They are preparing to move their facility to a new location. They called to find out how to safely move their pesticides and comply with regulations. We thought this would be good information to share.

UC ANR Environmental Health and Safety has a great collection of publications, including Storing, Moving and Disposing of Pesticides on Farms.

In addition to the information in the publication, UC ANR Environmental Health and Safety suggests the following when moving pesticides to a new location:

• keep a copy of labels and/or MSDS on pesticides you are moving
• remember pesticides cannot be in truck cabs with people
• the truck and pesticide storage compartments must remain locked even if you leave your vehicle for a minute or two.
