Operating on a rotating three-year schedule, this AgriRÉCUP program helps farmers protect their land and communities by accepting unwanted commercial-class pesticides and expired livestock/equine medications for safe disposal, free of charge. New in 2026 and only in Quebec farmers can also turn into expired treated seeds as well.

“Farmers appreciate this program,” says UPLM Program Coordinator Heather Bradley. “During the last UPLM collection held in Quebec, AgriRÉCUP saw record participation, with a significant increase in the number of unwanted pesticides and old livestock and equine medications collected. This success reflects farmers’ growing commitment to the safe and responsible management of these products. We are therefore very optimistic about participation in this year’s collection.”

“The program is funded by crop protection industry members and the Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI) and provides a much needed solution for members of the agricultural industry looking to safely dispose of unwanted and outdated pesticides and animal medications taking up space on their farms,” says Dr. Catherine Filejski, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI).
