Summary of South Carolina Waste Pesticide Disposal ProgramIn 1988, the Orangeburg County Extension conducted a Clean Sweep program to educateresidents and farmers about the dangers of hazardous chemicals and wastes and to collect and dispose ofthe hazardous chemicals. The program was coordinated with Clemson University and the South CarolinaDepartment of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). This was the first Clean Sweep conducted inSouth Carolina. GSX Chemical Services provided the manpower, expertise, hauling, and disposal at nocost. The value of services was $38,500 for an estimated 6,743 pounds of waste from 17 households and29 farmers.In the past few years South Carolina has worked to establish a Clean Sweep program for agriculturalpesticides. However, the development of a program ran into a few obstacles due to the uniquestructure of South Carolina’s pesticide regulatory agency. In South Carolina, the Department of PesticideRegulation (DPR) is part of Clemson University rather than the Department of Agriculture. Clean Sweepprograms are often set up so the pesticide agency becomes the official generator of the waste for thepurposes of the hazardous waste regulations. This created a problem, though, because the ClemsonUniversity Board of Directors was concerned about the potential liability to the school from incurring thegenerator role and handling the pesticides. The Department of Pesticide Regulation pursued legislation thatwould resolve this dilemma by allowing the university to have an active role in Clean Sweep programs, butto limit its liability. However, recent budget shortfalls have precluded efforts by the DPR to operate a wastepesticide program. To the extent that South Carolina holds waste pesticide programs in the near future, theprograms will reside with the DHEC. The DPR handles the pesticide container recycling program.YearSouth Carolina Table 1 - Quantity of Pesticides CollectedQuantity ofPesticides (pounds)*Number ofParticipantsAverage Quantity of Pesticides perParticipant (pounds/participant)1988 6,743 46** 1471990 400 14-16*** 25 to 29TOTAL 7,143 60 to 62 115 to 119* Quantities are estimated.** Total includes 29 farmers and 17 households.*** Total is farmers only.Information on program cost is not available.
