To establish a policy for an environmentally responsible and effective method by which to dispose of empty
pesticide containers.
Policy Statement:
Council recognizes that by establishing an agriculture pesticide collection site, the negative impacts of
improperly disposed containers can be mitigated. The collection site encourages proper disposal of
containers, offers a service to producers, and reduces the impact on soil, water, and air quality that results
from improper disposal methods.
Policy Guidelines:
1. Kneehill County will cooperate with Provincial Departments in the collection and disposal of empty
pesticide containers.
2. Kneehill County will maintain the collection site and building that is located on SW 25-31-24-W4 as part of
the Kneehill County Three Hills Transfer Station.
3. Only agricultural pesticides containers will be received for collection.
4. There will be no tipping fees charged for the collection of pesticide containers.
5. Pesticide containers must be empty, and rinsed, with labels and lids removed before receiving for disposal.
