Please see the information below for Pesticide Collection!
Virginia’s Pesticide Collection Program assists agricultural producers, licensed pesticide dealers, pest control firms, golf courses and homeowners with the proper disposal of unwanted pesticides. The program is an effort by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), with participation from Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Service. To administer the Pesticide Collection Program, Virginia is divided into five regions. Each year, a pesticide collection program is conducted in a different region. Once all five regions have been served, the program will start another cycle.
The 2026 Pesticide collection Program will serve the counties of Arlington, Caroline, Chesterfield, Essex, Fairfax, Fredericksburg, Gloucester, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, King William, Lancaster, Loudoun, Mathews, Middlesex, Northumberland, Powhatan, Prince William, Richmond, Spotsylvania, Stafford, and Westmoreland County. The cities of Richmond, Alexandria, Colonial Heights, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and Manassas Park.
Information including the collection dates and locations as well as the registration form are available at Pesticide Collection Program | VDACS
Registration forms are requested in advance to assist with planning.
The Pesticide Collection Program requires participants to transport their unwanted agricultural and commercial pesticides to a central collection site where the hazardous waste disposal contractor will package the pesticides for eventual disposal. If a participant cannot safely transport unwanted pesticides, the program may make arrangements to containerize the pesticides for transport.
