Pesticides: Waste Disposal
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of placing a levy for the cost of disposing pesticide products.
Answered by Emma Hardy
The Government is not currently considering a levy for the safe and legal disposal of pesticide products.
All pesticide users should follow good practice in the use, storage and disposal of pesticide products, and work to reduce the amount of waste they produce, as set out in the Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products.
