The Franklin and Warren County Cooperative Extension offices are providing several opportunities for individuals to complete pesticide training in the coming months.
There’s also going to be a Pesticide Collection Day on Thursday, Mar. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Louisburg.
The collection site is Edwards and Foster Farm, 5008 U.S. Hwy. 401 Hwy. North in Louisburg. Bring any old pesticides you need to dispose of. There is no charge for this event. Containers smaller than 55-gallon drums will be accepted.
A Mar. 17 pesticide training begins at 6 p.m. at the Franklin County Cooperative Extension Annex, 103 S. Bickett Blvd., Louisburg. This required EPA C&T training is for all commercial license holders and all private applicators whose license renews in 2026.
The same training will be offered in Warrenton on Mar. 30 at the Warren County Extension Office, 158 Rafters Lane. The EPA C&T training will begin at 5 p.m. and V Credit training will begin at 6 p.m.
Another V Credit training will take place on Apr. 16 at the Warren County Extension office beginning at 6 p.m.
