The next obsolete pesticide collection days are planned for one day each in October in Presque Isle, Bangor, Augusta and Portland, according to a news release from the board staff.
More details will be provided to applicants prior to the event, including dates, times, drop-off locations/directions, and paperwork necessary for transport.
Registration is required by Monday, Sept. 26, to participate. Drop-ins are not permitted.
