摘要：Since the mid 1980s, it has been recognized that significant quantities of unwantedpesticides are being retained by agricultural producers in barns and other outbuildings throughout the United States. State governments have responded to thehazards posed by these pesticides by implementing programs to collect and disposeof them. This paper reviews issues related to costs and funding of pesticidecollection and disposal programs. Primary and secondary information on states'approaches to and experiences with unwanted pesticide removal is presented. Differences in the theoretical impacts of various collection funding methods onreducing unwanted pesticide stocks and allocating disposal costs are discussed.
