What is the role of the Wisconsin Clean Sweep program?

The Wisconsin Clean Sweep program specifically focuses on aiding in the safe disposal of pesticides and related wastes. This program is designed to address the environmental and health risks associated with improper disposal of these substances. By providing collection events and drop-off locations, the Clean Sweep program ensures that pesticides, herbicides, and other hazardous materials are managed appropriately, minimizing the potential for pollution and harmful exposure to people and wildlife. The initiative embodies best practices in waste management, prioritizing safety and environmental protection, which are critical in the context of agricultural and residential pesticide use.
