#Maine - The Annual Obsolete #Pesticide Program - Deadline for registration is October 5, 2026
"Registration is now open for the 2026 Obsolete Pesticide Collection Program.
2026 Obsolete Pesticide CollectionThe Maine Board of Pesticides Control and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection offer Maine residents a free, safe, and environmentally responsible way to dispose of obsolete, unusable, or unwanted pesticides. Collected materials are transported to licensed out-of-state hazardous waste disposal facilities.
The program is open to Maine resident homeowners and family-owned farms.
The program does not accept commercial pesticide waste. Commercial applicators, businesses, and other commercial entities are responsible for disposing of pesticide waste through a licensed hazardous waste contractor.
What can be collected?
The program accepts obsolete or unwanted pesticides, including but not limited to:
#Herbicides
#Insecticides
#Rodenticides
#Fungicides
Disinfectants
Spray adjuvantsMaterials may be accepted whether they are unused, banned, no longer usable, frozen, caked, or otherwise unsuitable for use.
Collection Events
One-day collection events will be held in November 2026 at the following locations:
#PresqueIsleME
#BangorME
#AugustaME
#PortlandMEFor security reasons, event dates, times, and specific collection locations are provided only to registered participants. Pre-registration is required. Drop-in participants cannot be accepted.
Need to Dispose of Pesticides Sooner?If you need to dispose of pesticides before the annual collection program, contact your local Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) office for guidance. Many Maine municipalities also host #HouseholdHazardousWaste Collection events during the summer, where residents can safely dispose of pesticides and other household hazardous wastes. Contact your local town office for information about events in your area or see our Disposal Options page for additional guidance. The Board of Pesticides Control cannot provide emergency hazardous waste disposal. If you have an immediate disposal need, contact your local DEP office or a licensed hazardous waste contractor.
Registration Reminder
Pre-registration is required for all participants. Registrations must be submitted by the individual currently possessing the pesticides. Materials delivered on behalf of another person or business cannot be accepted. Registration Deadline: Monday, October 5, 2026.

“And then if you’re cooking in these baskets and the material has been sprayed, then people can be ingesting it.”

Pesticide exposure at work may increase motor neurone disease risk – new study
"A new study, published today, has found that being exposed to pesticide at work can increase the risk of developing ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) by 61–71%. The study brings together the findings of eight other studies – but not all of them assess risk in the same way. Here’s why we need to interpret the findings with caution....Overall, the study supports the case that being exposed to pesticide at work increases your risk of developing ALS." >>

🦟 Canadian scientists pooled and re-analysed the data from 11 previous studies on links between pesticide exposure (including herbicides and insecticides) and motor neuron disease, finding that exposure was linked to a 60-70% increase in the risk of men developing the most common form, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The team says that, compared with no exposure, exposure to herbicides was linked to a 70% increase in a man's risk of developing the disease, and exposure to either insecticides or fungicides was linked with a 60% increase in risk. Interestingly, the researchers point out that there was no increased risk seen in women. It's important to note, the authors say, that this kind of study is limited by the quality of the original studies it is based on, and does not prove the pesticides caused the disease, just that the two may be linked.
Australian scientists from The University of Queensland, RMIT University, University of Sydney and Adelaide University have offered commentary on the research.

## 250,000 x SAFE LEVELS IN USA.
## 125,000 x SAFE LEVELS IN EUROPE
## When it comes to herbicide use/abuse, at this (admittedly very late) stage we can all probably admit so-called gluten intolerance has very little to do with actual #gluten, cylliac disease etc, and more to do with #herbicides and #glyphosate, #24d #dicamber etc
## ie. its NOT THE GLUTEN - its the GLYPHOSATE <https://www.corbettreport.com/mp3/2026-07-08_Michael_Antoniou.mp3>
## Protect ur friends, family and urself.... this interview with an emeritus professor in the field, Michael Antoniou, covers a lot of ground, including how to avoid. Unfortunately, the connection to #canola (rapeseed) is missing, but almost EVERYTHING else is talked about. He explains #greenBurndown (pre-harvest desiccation) in detail and and other illicit practices.
Boost if interested in #food and #health, and getting these substances finally removed from farms (theyve been banned in #russia for over a decade now). Joy and love to you.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in hospitals also show resistance to the herbicide glyphosate. Bacteria from environmental samples that are the most resistant to glyphosate are phylogenetically related to antibiotic resistant bacteria. Glyphosate exposure may lead to co-selection for antibiotic resistance.

Paraquat, which is linked to inception of Parkinson's disease, and is banned in more than 70 countries, is not regulated as an air pollutant--so a production plant in Wanesboro, Mississippi releases tens of thousands of pounds into the air each year, without constraint or consequence.

So, this is a timely topic! From the latest issue of #InTheseTimes! The connection between Amazon Deforestation and CEO land grabs in the Western United States -- bought with blood money!
Fortress Yellowstone
The #UltraRich are fortifying themselves inside one of America’s last intact #ecosystems—with money plundered from ecological #SacrificeZones around the world
by Joseph Bullington, April 6, 2026
Excerpt: "Some of these ultra-rich ranch owners celebrate the natural beauty of their land and are ardent conservationists when it comes to the Yellowstone ecosystem. In digging into their business dealings, however, I found that most of these landowners accumulated their wealth through industries that help drive the destruction of nature elsewhere. Their ranks include private equity investors, oil and gas billionaires and real estate developers. "[...]
"Now, instead of forests full of fruits and animals and mandioca clearings, industrial soy plantations press in on #Açaizal like a closing fist. There is no escape from the onslaught of #monoculture. Manoel shows me where rows of broken cornstalks run right up against the edge of the community’s soccer field, which the soy farmers also want to plow. The soybeans and corn, like those in the United States, are genetically engineered to withstand the #herbicides and #pesticides the farmers dump on them to beat back weeds and pests, but the chemicals drift, says Manoel, making it impossible to grow fruits and vegetables and #mandioca nearby. The streams run low and full of poison."
