Event Summary

Cleanfarms, an agricultural producer responsibility organization, announced its Fall 2026 Unwanted Pesticides and Old Livestock/Equine Medications (UPLM) collection program. The program will hold collection events in Canada — Quebec (Sept 21-Oct 8), Canada — British Columbia's Vancouver Island and Fraser Valley regions (Oct 6-16), Southern Canada — Saskatchewan (Oct 26-30), and Canada — Prince Edward Island (Nov 16-27). Farmers can drop off unwanted pesticides and obsolete livestock/equine medications at no cost. The program is funded by Cleanfarms' crop-protection industry members and the Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI). Last year's collections saw a 22% increase in returns compared to previous cycles in those regions. The initiative supports responsible disposal and environmental stewardship in Canadian agriculture.
