Vojvodina Capital Investment Fund (Serbia) supported the study regarding collection and disposal of empty packages of pesticides and seeds treated by pesticides. Here is presented review of legislation in this field, as well as procedures for collection and disposal. It was identified that recycling has the first, and energetic use of packaging has the second priority. The amount of empty packaging of pesticides in Serbia is about 1.100 t, and packaging of seeds treated by pesticides about 1.200 t per year. The most important for the packaging of pesticides is to be fully rinsed, whereby this material can be treated as non hazardous. Procedures for energetic utilization of empty pesticides packaging, standards and practice have been considered. Disposal of hazardous waste costs 1.5 to 3 times more than non hazardous. This packaging has the similar calorific value as oil, and it can be successfully combusted at specialized facilities. The most common this type of combustion is in cement factories. The future activities should be focused on procedures and practices of combustion package of seeds treated by pesticides.
