PESTICIDE STORAGE: Do not store near fertilizers, seeds, insecticides, fungicides, feed or foodstuffs. Store in a cool, dry place away from open flame and extreme heat. Store in original container and out of reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area.

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA regional office for guidance.

CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill. Triple rinse (or equivalent) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by State and local procedures. If container is leaking, invert to prevent leakage. Carefully dam up spilled material to prevent runoff. Refer to Precautionary Statements for hazards associated with the handling of this product. Absorb spilled material with absorbing type compounds and dispose of as directed for pesticides above. In spill or leak incidents, keep unauthorized persons away.
