Environmental Protection

  • Pesticide Container Recycling Program
    Find the town nearest you to recycle your plastic pesticide containers.  This program is designed to recycle the plastic from rinsed (triple or pressure) pesticide (or crop oil) containers (1.0 or 2.5 gallons) or crop protection chemical drums (15, 30, or 55 gallons).

  • Pesticide Sensitive Crop Locator
    The online pesticide-sensitive crops locator was developed by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) in conjunction with the University of Nebraska, Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies. Applicators can use this web site to determine if sensitive crops are near a planned pesticide application site so that they can adjust their procedures (timing or application method) accordingly.  Listings on the locator are voluntary.
     
  • Hazardous Waste Disposal
    Pesticide disposal, household hazardous waste disposal, business waste disposal, and recycling programs for cities in Nebraska. 
     
  • Environmental Protection Publications
    These NebGuides offer information on pesticide safety to include sensitive environments, endangered species protection, stormwater management, rinsing containers, spray drift, and cleaning application equipment.
