Chemsweep
Farmers in Chester County
have a one-time opportunity to
dispose of outdated, cancelled,
damaged, or unneeded pesticides
in 1995.
The Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture (PDA) has targeted
Chester County for the Chem
sweep program this coming year,
but, before Dec. 31, 1994, farmers
must fill out an inventory sheet
that was mailed in October. '
The best part of this program is
that it is FREE,-funded by registra
tion fees collected from chemical
companies.
The purpose of the program is
to legally and safely remove cer
tain pesticides from farms before
they cause environmental prob
lems. A PDA official will visit
your farm to verify your submitted
inventory list and to sample any
unknown products.

only aim is to remove the pesti
cides front your farm no matter
what condition they are in. The
pesticides wilt be picked up direct
ly from your farm at a later date.

cides. This only complicates the
procedure.
