What should you never do with unmarked or unlabeled pesticide containers?

• A. Label them and reuse
• B. Empty and recycle
• C. Store them behind the facility
• D. Use pesticides from them

Answer: (D)

Never use pesticides from unmarked or unlabeled containers. The label tells you exactly what chemical it is, its strength, hazards, required personal protective equipment, and how to apply it safely and legally. Without a label you can’t confirm identity, concentration, or proper use, which can lead to incorrect application, health risks, environmental harm, and regulatory violations. Other actions like labeling and reusing, emptying and recycling, or storing behind the facility aren’t reliable safety practices with unlabeled containers and can still expose people or the environment to unknown products. The safest and correct approach is to keep pesticides in their original labeled containers and dispose of or recycle them according to the label directions and local regulations.
