Containers with Pesticide Residue The containers of some commonly used pesticides are classified as hazardous wastes if not properly rinsed,and as such,are subject to the many rules and regulations governing hazardous waste. Improper disposal of a hazardous waste can result in very high fines and/or criminal penalties.However, pesticide containers that have been properly rinsed can be handled and disposed of as non-hazardous solid waste.

Pressure Rinsing a Container ◇ Put on the personal protective equipment listed on the product's label. Install pressure-rinse nozzle on hose connected to a water supply(pg.B87) Minimum pressure 15 pounds psi Allow formulation to drip drain from its container into the sprayer's tank for at least 30 seconds. Firmly press the pressure-rinse nozzle tip into the side of the pesticide container Rinse the container for at least 30 seconds with it draining into the sprayer's tank.For containers that are larger than 5 gallons,insert the pressure-rinse nozzle into its bottom. Must be able to rinse all inner surfaces Allow the container to drip drain for at least 30 seconds
