What is required to be on the label of alternative pesticide containers?
(“Alternative pesticide containers” are also known as “service containers” in trade terminology) A. Alternative pesticide containers are identified in ECL Sections 33-1301(1)(b) and 33-0303(3)(e). It is the Department’s position that any container would be considered an alternative pesticide container, except the manufacturer’s immediate container used to transport or store pesticides. This includes all application equipment used at any time other than in conjunction with actual on-site application. Therefore, any pesticide applicator utilizing an alternative pesticide container must comply with ECL Section 33-1301(1)(b) and ( c), and must ensure that the container bears the specified information or must directly affix to such container a label bearing that information. The required information is listed in the bolded text in the answer to Q&A regarding experimental use containers.
