SF 2936 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Pesticide containers burning prohibition provision

This bill prohibits burning pesticide containers as a disposal method in Minnesota. It directly affects farmers, agricultural workers, and anyone handling pesticide containers by requiring disposal to follow existing environmental regulations under Minnesota Statutes and federal law (FIFRA). The key provision amends statute 18B.07, explicitly banning burning for pesticide container disposal. The law takes effect January 1, 2026, replacing current disposal guidelines that did not specifically address burning.
