The state of Maine is offering to collect unwanted pesticides free of charge.

The Obsolete Pesticide Collection Program is open to homeowners and family-owned farms. The program accepts unwanted pesticides including herbicides and insecticides at collection sites in Presque Isle, Bangor, Augusta and Portland.

Collection days will take place at those locations in October.

Those looking to drop off pesticides will have to pre-register by September 26th.
