What is one of the options for disposing of pesticide containers and solid wastes?

Returning pesticide containers and solid wastes to the dealer is a recommended disposal method because it allows for proper handling and ensures compliance with environmental regulations. Dealers often have established procedures for recycling or disposing of these containers safely, minimizing the risk of environmental contamination. This option contributes to the safe management of pesticides and protects public health by reducing the potential hazards associated with improper disposal methods, such as burning or burying waste, which can release harmful chemicals into the air or soil.

The other methods mentioned do not align with responsible disposal practices. Burning can release toxic fumes, pouring into the soil contaminates the environment, and hiding them can lead to unintended exposure or environmental harm. Returning to the dealer represents a proactive and responsible choice for managing pesticide waste.
