The NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ (NCDA&CS) Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program, a non-regulatory and cost-free program, in cooperation with Cumberland County Cooperative Extension, will be sponsoring a Pesticide Collection Day on April 29, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Cumberland County Cooperative Extension Office, 301 East Mountain Dr. in Fayetteville. Kenny Bailey, Cumberland County Cooperative Extension’s Pesticide Coordinator is coordinating the collection with NCDA&CS.

Nearly all pesticide products will be accepted, including banned and outdated pesticides. For pesticides with unreadable or missing labels, contact the Cooperative Extension office at (910) 321-6871 for instructions. Participants are asked to save any portion of the label to help identify the material to be disposed of. Unknown materials cannot be accepted.
