Transporting Wastes 
 

For private pesticide applicators in some states, a manifest (document of contents) is not required for transporting pesticides to a disposal site as it is for commercial transport. Some pesticides must have a label indicating "Universal Waste Pesticide".



For more information about transporting pesticides to disposal sites, contact the coordinator of your state pesticide disposal assistance program (not all state participate) from lists provided by the EPA (http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/regulating/disposal_contacts.htm) or The Pesticide Stewardship Alliance (http://tpsalliance.org/state_programs.html).
