After pesticide containers have been emptied, they should be rinsed at least three times with
one-third volume clean water, and the rinse water must be added to the spray tank. Contain-
ers should then be dried in the sun and preferably cut full of holes or cut up completely before
being supplied to plastics recyclers. See
www.avcasa.co.zafor the list of recyclers.
Avoid malicious abuse of pesticides, for example poisoning animals that may cause damage.
This is not only illegal and inhumane, but also creates a secondary poison risk for other ani-
mals. Poisoning has already seriously affected some species like vultures and the agricultural
community is blamed for this.
