A free collection service for pesticides is running throughout November

An amnesty for unwanted pesticides has been set up for the month of November.

The Government of Jersey said it would be offering a free collection service for farmers, gardeners and growers to help safely dispose of pesticides.

Environment Minister Deputy Steve Luce said the scheme was a "crucial step" in ensuring the island had a "healthy and sustainable environment".

Anyone who wants to arrange a collection during the amnesty has been asked to call or email the food and plant team.
