13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal Method:
Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of
Federal law and may contaminate ground water. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label
instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the
nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
Container Handling and Disposal:
Nonrefillable Containers 5 Gallons or Less: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse
container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application
equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container ¼ full with water and
recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or
disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling
or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by State and local
authorities. Plastic containers are also disposable by incineration, or, if allowed by State and local authorities, by burning.
If burned, stay out of smoke.
Nonrefillable Containers Larger Than 5 Gallons: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for
recycling if available. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as
follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container ¼ full with water.
Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete
revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over
onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or
store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the
remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to
drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert
pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container, and rinse at about 40 psi for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds
after the flow begins to drip.
