KALISPELL, Mont. - The Montana Department of Agriculture's (MDA) Western District is once again taking in people's unwanted pesticides to help protect Montana's ecosystems and groundwater, as well as families, pets, livestock and drinking water from potentially hazardous materials. Since 1994, the Department's annual pesticide waste collection has gathered close to 780,000 pounds of pesticide waste from over 1,800 participants. 'Montana has very limited options to get rid of pesticide products,' said Carli Davis of the MDA's Pesticide Disposal and Container Recycling Programs.
