Agricultural Chemical Disposal | Hazchem Services Limited

Agricultural Chemical Waste Disposal in New Zealand is becoming a serious cause for concern!

Did you know that hoarding old and unused agrichemicals can pose a significant risk to you, your family, staff, any livestock or pets and the environment? 

Agrichemicals include:

  • pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides)
  • fertilisers
  • stock supplements

Some agrichemicals such as some stock supplements are not considered to be hazardous, however, pesticides are extremely hazardous because they are designed to be toxic in order to kill pests.

Some pesticides take many years (even decades) to break down. One such pesticide, organochlorine, linger in the environment, seeping into the food chain and steadily absorbing in the fat of various animals. Over time these pesticides increase inside humans and other animals and can have an array of deadly effects.

The most recognized organochlorine is DDT, which affects the nervous system and the reproductive organs of infected animals. Please; consider the devastating side-effects of agrichemicals when disposing of old and unwanted products.

When you chose Hazchem Services for your agricultural chemical waste disposal company, you can relax knowing that we use qualified chemical contractors for the collection and disposal of your unwanted chemicals. Chemicals will be disposed of according to New Zealand regulations as appropriate and we can even provide you with proof of Secure Product Destruction.
