List of Banned Pesticides

Pesticides have the potential to cause devastation to aquatic ecosystems, and have been known to kill all life in rivers by causing algal blooms which essentially remove all oxygen from the water. Please also note that it is illegal to dispose of garden chemicals in drains, sinks and lavatories.

Maesbury Road civic amenity site will dispose of your old domestic purpose garden chemicals on your behalf with no charge. Please feel free to give the bottles personally to personnel at the site.
