The Pesticide Stewardship Alliance (TPSA) is a collaborative partnership of federal, state and local governmental agencies, educational and research institutions, public organizations, private corporations, and individuals actively involved in different aspects of pesticide stewardship. Founded in 2000, TPSA uses education, training, outreach and other activities to accomplish stewardship objectives in local, national, and international arenas. In 2013 TPSA organized and executed several pesticide stewardship outreach activities. Two successful webinars, one for pesticide distributors, manufacturers, and advisors and another for growers, provided information on best practices for rinsing and recycling mini bulk and IBC containers. A �How to� video on rinsing caged tanks, a brochure for properly handling large pesticide containers, and a web resource providing information on companies that will collect containers for recycling were produced for educational outreach. Some additional activities TPSA was involved in include creating a �Do not reuse empty pesticide containers� brochure for international stewardship efforts and providing the latest information at their annual conference and on the TPSA web site on proper Personal Protective Equipment and safe practices to protect bee health.
