Summary

Farmers or market gardeners storing unwanted organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) or other pesticides on their premises can benefit from guidance on the management of these obsolete pesticides.

This brochure is primarily about storage, transport and disposal of organochlorine pesticides but much of the advice will be applicable to other rural chemicals too - care needs to be taken with all pesticides.
