(HealthDay News) -- Pesticides are usually toxic chemicals that should be carefully thrown out if they're old or no longer needed.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency suggests how to safely dispose of pesticides:
Seek a community collection program for household hazardous wastes.
Check state and local laws for proper disposing of pesticides.
Contact a local solid waste management company for this information.
Never reuse an empty pesticide container. Don't place an empty container in the trash unless otherwise specified on the label.
Never pour a pesticide into the toilet, sink, street drain or sewer.
